District offers $22/hour with paid training, no experience required
The Nordonia School District in Macedonia is actively recruiting bus drivers as the new school year approaches, facing challenges common to districts across the region in filling transportation positions.
The district currently has six open bus driver positions available at $22 per hour, with no prior experience necessary. New hires receive paid training at $15 per hour to obtain the required certifications and skills.
According to district communications, officials are seeking to hire contracted drivers, with potential opportunities for drivers willing to work at multiple locations within the district’s transportation network. The positions offer daytime hours during the school year with no nights or weekend requirements, allowing drivers to maintain schedules that align with family needs.
The recruitment push comes as many school districts nationwide report difficulty attracting bus drivers, a trend that has intensified in recent years. Nordonia officials emphasize the career benefits include working only during school hours, having summers and school breaks off, and receiving contracted benefits along with competitive wages.
The district particularly seeks local candidates familiar with the Macedonia area and surrounding communities. With nearly two months remaining before the school year begins, officials indicate there is sufficient time to complete the hiring and training process for new drivers.
