Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls is still about 20 school bus drivers short with the school system set to open September 8th.
School Bus Incorporated Safety Director Kent Hansen says bus driving is good part time work and is a key position in the school system. Hansen says that oftentimes, the driver is the first and last person a child sees so the driver can basically set the tone for the school day.
Drivers make $13.50 an hour.
In past school years, if not enough bus drivers were hired, supervisors would sometimes have to drive the bus routes.
