Update from Conroe ISD Transportation

Thank you for your understanding and patience over the last few weeks. We acknowledge that challenges with some bus routes have added stress to morning and afternoon routines for some of our families, and we apologize for that. Currently, we have over 30 bus driver vacancies. Our Transportation Department office staff are working tirelessly to cover routes for which we do not have drivers, and our mechanics, who often serve as standby drivers, are making sure the buses are running as efficiently and cool as possible given the recent heat wave. At times, when routes cannot be covered by office staff or standby drivers, bus runs may be split among two or more buses so all children who need bus service have access to it. It’s important to know that this not only impacts arrival times but also notifications sent by Smart Tag.

During this time, our amazing drivers and staff in the Transportation Department are also feeling pressure because of the vacancies. Words of encouragement go a long way in boosting the morale of those who show up every day to cover routes for our over 40,000 bus riders. Individuals interested in working in transportation as a driver, bus monitor, or technician can apply at www.conroeisd.net. There will also be a job fair on September 12th for interested individuals. Information is available on the Conroe ISD website.

Thank you for your support. We appreciate you sharing the above employment opportunities with anyone you know potentially interested in working in Transportation.
