San Antonio school districts address bus driver shortage

SAN ANTONIO – As National Bus Driver Week is celebrated, San Antonio school districts are addressing the perennial issue of bus driver shortages.

This year, most districts have filled their full-time positions, but North Side ISD and Northeast ISD are still accepting applications for part-time roles, offering pay between $15 and $17 per hour.

San Antonio ISD lists two openings on its website, one full-time and one part-time.

Many districts often hire veterans or retirees for these roles.

Applicants must pass a background check and driving test, with training provided by the district.
