School district: We need 40 more bus drivers

The Osceola School District is in need of 40 additional bus drivers to fulfill its routes for the upcoming school year when classes resume on August 12. 

To help fill the gap, the district is holding a Bus Driver Job Fair on Tuesday, June 29, rom 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at its Transportation Department, located at 401 Simpson Road in Kissimmee.   

No experience is necessary to become a school bus driver, and individuals will receive paid training towards a commercial driving license from July 12 – July 23, 2021. 

Benefits include access to a state retirement plan after completion of a probationary period, an employee wellness program, use of the Center for Employee Health and medical insurance at no cost to the employee. 

What’s more, no nights and weekends are required and drivers get most major holidays off.
