Steps to become a school bus driver Steps to become a Waller ISD school bus driver: 1) Have an acceptable Motor Vehicle Driving Record (run by WISD) 2) Pass five written tests based on information in the DPS Commercial Drivers Handbook (copies are available for check out from the WISD Transportation Department). All written tests must be taken at the Hempstead DPS center. When all five tests are passed, a permit is issued to permit training behind the wheel. 3) Pass the DPS driving test - which takes approximately 40 minutes – and CDL is issued. (All written tests must be passed before the driving test is given). 4) Pass the DPS School Bus Driver physical. 5) Pass USDOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration drug testing. 6) Complete a 20-hour DPS School Bus Driver Certification Program within approximately six months after obtaining license. (An 8-hour renewal course is required every three years) For more information contact Kathy Reinhardt at (936) 372-2116. |
