Bus Driver

Reports to:
Assistant Superintendent / Transportation Coordinator

The School Bus Driver for CANo

PS is responsible for safely transporting students to and from our schools, internship locations, experiential learning opportunities, athletic events, and other related activities.

Unlike traditional school districts that operate primarily morning and afternoon routes, CANo

PS operates a dynamic transportation model designed to expand access to real‑world, community‑based, and experiential learning opportunities. Our drivers are essential members of our educational team and play a critical role in ensuring students can fully participate in internships, extended learning programs, career experiences, field studies, and enrichment activities throughout the day.

Drivers must help ensure that assigned buses or shuttles (our fleet) is/are in safe operating condition at all times. In addition to safe operation, drivers are responsible for maintaining discipline, supporting positive student behavior, preventing unauthorized persons from boarding, and meeting established schedules, including traditional routes and remain flexible for mid‑day routes.

This role requires flexibility, teamwork, professionalism, and a student‑centered mindset. Transportation at CANo

PS is an extension of the classroom.
