Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,

As the first and last point of contact for the students who utilize our school district transportation system, bus drivers are vital to our mission of ensuring a safe and caring environment for all students.  As you are most likely aware, school districts around the nation are struggling to attract and retain school bus drivers for a variety of reasons. Cheney Public Schools is no exception. We have an amazing transportation team and seek additional drivers to join the department – regular drivers as well as substitute drivers. 

Transporting students safely to and from school and activities is an extremely important and critical aspect of our overall school system. For students that are bus riders, the driver is the first and last staff member to see them on school days. Drivers are essential in not only transporting students safely, they build relationships, encourage, hear of their successes, challenges, joys and accomplishments. It truly can be a rewarding experience for drivers and students alike.
Are YOU this unique and caring individual that we are seeking to make a difference in these children’s lives? Do you know of someone that sounds like a perfect match for this opportunity?
Cheney Public Schools will be holding two driver training sessions over the summer, including classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training. Please see the attached flyer for additional details and/or call the transportation department at 509-559-4523.
