Members of the Mooresville Schools Transportation Department pride themselves in the safe and efficient transportation for about 3,600 students to and from school each day. Our 50+ buses travel approximately 372,000 miles per year, including daily transportation as well as hundreds of extracurricular trips.
2023-24 Transportation Hiring Incentive
Mooresville Schools, like districts around the country, are experiencing an extreme shortage of bus drivers. Transportation services are a significant piece of our school operations. Simply put, disruptions to transportation mean students don’t get to school. To address this issue as efficiently as possible, Mooresville’s Board of School Trustees has agreed to provide incentives to recruit drivers, as well as to retain current drivers.
For the 2023-2024 school year, Mooresville Schools will have a sign-on bonus for new bus drivers of $1,000. The driver must stay employed with Mooresville Schools for one year from their date of employment as a full-time bus driver to receive the bonus.
Additionally, Mooresville Schools will provide a $1,000 bonus to any employee who recruits a driver. A stipulation for this bonus is that the driver and the recruiter must stay employed with Mooresville Schools for one year from the bus driver’s full-time date of employment.
Finally, Mooresville Schools will provide a $1,000 bonus to current drivers who do not miss a day of work during the 2023-2024 school year.
Questions may be directed to Associate Superintendent Dr. Jake Allen, Transportation Director Joe Craig, or to the Education Center office staff.
