Anchorage School District officials believe they’ll have full bus driver staffing by the beginning of October, given how many people are currently in the training and hiring process.
How much is the district paying bus drivers?. Dallas-based Reliant Transportation, which is contracted to provide service for two-thirds of the district’s bus routes this year, is paying $22 an hour for drivers.
“What that means is that we’re within arm’s reach of our goal to be fully staffed by October,” Bryantt said in an interview.“We still have an urgent need for bus drivers,” Bryantt said. “Because while we do have a lot of folks in the applicant process, they may not all make it to the finish line. So please, please, please apply to be a bus driver.
Since the shortage was not caused by a natural disaster, civil unrest or a disease, it’s not within the allowable reasons for National Guard deployment in Alaska, according to Patty Sullivan, a spokesperson for the Department of Law.
