School Van Driver

You will drive a van on a set route, morning and afternoon, carrying students to and from school. Alongside driving, you are responsible for pre-trip inspections, keeping the vehicle within DOT requirements, checking the vehicle after every route, and managing student behavior safely.

Morning route typically around 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Afternoon route typically around 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is a split shift with a break in between. That is about 4.5 hours of paid time a day.

Field trips, sports and activity runs are available on a rotational basis and are optional. They are paid at a separate activity rate.
