Every day of the school year, thousands of buses head out each morning and afternoon to deliver their precious cargo of children to the various schools across the nation. The drivers of these buses are usually in high demand by school systems, and thus paid well. In addition, many school systems try to lure in potential drivers by offering them full benefits, even when they only have to work a part-time schedule. Additionally, in some areas where the demand for school drivers is particularly high, school districts will even allow drivers to bring their own children on the bus runs so that the driver doesn’t have to worry about babysitting costs while working.
According to the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics the national mean hourly salary in May of 2009 for a school bus driver was $13.49 per hour, with the highest mean hourly salary of $21.01 being paid in Salinas, California. The study also revealed that over 450,000 school bus drivers were employed in the United States.
School bus driving hours vary and the flexibility to work more or less hours is very attractive to many potential drivers. Some school bus drivers only work morning and afternoon runs to bring and take home children from schools. Other drivers will work full-time schedules by providing transportation for field trips, after school activities, or evening high school games, and other such activities.
A person who is interested in becoming a school bus driver should check the classified section of his local newspaper for bus driver openings or with the school districts themselves. Since potential school bus drivers will be working with children, they will need to be able to pass a background check. They should also have a clean driving record.
The school system will usually offer on-the-job training, which will include everything from learning how to drive the bus, to handling student behavior, to learning how to do pre-trip safety checks on the vehicles. Depending on the locality, the driver will probably have to obtain a special driver’s license. For instance, in Arizona, a school bus driver needs to obtain a Class A or B license.
