Bartow Schools Seeking School Bus Drivers

CARTERSVILLE, GA — The need for school bus drivers is real, not just in Bartow County, but across the nation.

In the Bartow County community, no one feels that more than those in the transportation department.

"The employees need to be commended," the county said in a Facebook post. "All of them. They step up, exhibit pride, love, and unparalleled commitment to the transportation of our children."

The county highlighted Raeliene Smith who, since the beginning of the academic year has been running double bus routes in the morning and afternoon.

"She is just one example," the county said. "Licensed office workers in the transportation department are running routes. Licensed retired teachers are running routes. Licensed retired coaches are running routes. This community is filled with superheroes! They're one of the first faces kids see in the morning and truly have an impact on lives."
