There is a school bus driver shortage in Wake and Durham Counties and the districts needs to fill 70 full and part-time positions before traditional school begins on August 28th.

This shortage could mean longer rides to school or longer walks to the bus stops for thousands of students who need to ride the bus.

Starting pay for a WCPSS bus driver is $12.55 per hour.
