School districts throughout Indiana are working to fill their bus driver positions, and our local Hamilton Southeaster (HSE) Schools, as the state’s 4th largest by enrollment, is no exception.

If you have considered driving a school bus, you can take a spin in an official HSE bus that transports students daily during the school year.  On Thursday, May 30th, 4-6pm, any potential bus driver can drive the bus just to get a feel for the job.

The job itself pays the driver $111.23 per day, plus there are opportunities to make even more.  Full time bus drivers are also eligible for a benefit package which includes participation in the Indiana Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) and 5% employer match for 403(b) based on gross wages.   403(b) plans are much like private sector 401(k) accounts.

The HSE Transportation team will be on hand for the event and can answer questions on any job opportunities in their department.  This is the first time HSE has put on such an event.

My twin daughters are 30 years of age now but still have fond memories of HSE school bus drivers they came to know as students.  This is a chance to make extra money, enjoy a benefit package and establish relationships with students and their families for years to come.
