"We certainly have enough buses. What we don't have are enough drivers," Dr. Rudolph Saunders, Director of Transportation at Prince George's County Public Schools told FOX 5's Bob Barnard ahead of the job fair. Saunders said making sure the buses run efficiently and making sure the students are safe are his priorities.
Prince George's County is short about 150 drivers which Saunders says impacts their ability to pick up and drop off the students on time.
The starting pay ranges between $18 and $35 an hour. Applicants must meet certain requirements including being at least 21-years-old, having their CDL and having a clean driving record.
