WCPS Families,

As we settle into the new school year, I want to take a moment to talk about one of the most important roles in our district: our bus drivers. Every morning and afternoon, they're the first and last WCPS employees many of our students see, and their care and reliability make our schools run. Right now, we need more of them.

Warren County Public Schools is looking for community members to join our team as school bus drivers; no prior experience is necessary. New hires get fully paid CDL training and earn $21.22–$27.27 per hour depending on experience. Working just 20 hours a week qualifies you for full health insurance, retirement benefits, and free $20,000 life insurance. Drivers also enjoy paid sick time, flexible part-time schedules, and school breaks and summers off. To sweeten the deal, WCPS is offering a $500 sign-on bonus for new drivers and $2,500 for those who already hold a CDL, paid out after 90 accident-free driving days. View the full list of WCPS bus driver benefits for more details, and if you're looking for meaningful, flexible work that makes a real difference in children's lives, apply to become a Warren County Public Schools bus driver today.

If you know someone who might be a great fit, a neighbor, a retiree, a parent looking for flexible hours, please share this with them. 

I can't wait for you to see the IMPACT Center for Leadership & Innovation. This state-of-the-art facility is one of the most exciting additions to our district in years, and it's going to open up incredible new opportunities for our students. Take a look for yourself, and I think you'll be just as excited as I am.

Please also save the date to join us for the ribbon-cutting of the IMPACT Center on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 830 Cumberland Trace Road in Bowling Green. Guided open house tours will run from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., with opening remarks and the ribbon cutting to follow at 10:30 a.m. We'd love for you to be there as we mark this exciting milestone for our district.

As we settle into fall, I wish you and your families the best as we look forward to a school year filled with tremendous growth and engaging learning opportunities.

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton
Superintendent
