Union County Public Schools bus drivers are now some of the highest paid school bus drivers in the area, thanks to a significant pay increase approved by the Board of Education. Last month, board members approved to raise pay for all drivers by approximately $2 per hour, effective January 1st, 2024. The starting wage for bus drivers is now $18 per hour and increases with years of experience. Pay for substitute bus drivers has also increased to $18.50 per hour.
The school district has several openings for bus drivers and is looking to hire now. To apply, you may visit the application website at bit.ly/ApplyUnionCounty or call the Central Office at 270-389-1694.
Superintendent Patricia Sheffer emphasized, “Our bus drivers are critical to our district’s mission, and we’re happy to be able to make their pay more competitive. Our transportation department is a great team, and we look forward to welcoming more team members who will further enhance the quality customer service we provide every day.”
