Information will be presented on the detours, dates, and related project logistics. The project work is scheduled to begin on June 1st with detours beginning on or about June 17th. The meeting is open to the public and no action will be taken. Please attend if you have any questions, concerns, or comments on the project.

We are looking to fill several Substitute School Bus Driver positions. This is a perfect job for a part-time school employee, semi-retired person, a college student, a parent, or someone needing a little extra cash – who can work mornings, afternoons or both. Training will be provided to the right person to obtain a CDL-B school bus driver's license. Training classes are held throughout the year.
The job is a non-contracted substitute position with the Washington Township Schools mainly driving students to/from school, with field and athletic trips available. If desired, the possibility exists to eventually move into a contracted driving position where benefits may be available.
If you, or someone that you know, is interested, please contact the transportation department for more information or apply through the employment section of our schools website, www.wtschools.org, and fill out the application for Substitute School Bus Driver.
