Nacogdoches ISD Invites Locals to Test Drive School Buses at Dragon Stadium Event

Nacogdoches ISD will host a 'Ride & Drive' event on Saturday, May 18, at Dragon Stadium to recruit new bus drivers. The event, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., allows prospective drivers to test drive a full-sized school bus. The goal is to attract candidates interested in school transportation careers.

During the event, participants can apply for a bus driving position and drive a bus in the stadium's parking lot. NISD transportation officials will assist with applications, conduct on-site interviews, and answer questions.

Applicants for the driving test must be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver's license and social security card. Closed-toe shoes, such as tennis shoes, are recommended for safety.

New hires will receive paid training for CDL testing, insurance coverage, and a 10-month work schedule.
