Rockford Public Schools: Transportation Update: January Bus Routes

Press release from Rockford Public Schools:

January 7, 2022

RPS 205 staff and families,  

We are updating our January transportation plans for students who use district transportation. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide transportation for an additional two bus routes each day. A total of four routes will not run each day. We are hopeful this is the final adjustment for our January transportation schedule.

View the unavailable routes.

A first-year driver can earn nearly $39,000. That includes a $3,000 signing bonus and up to $5,500 a year in attendance bonuses. Starting pay is $15.30 an hour with full-time benefits, including health insurance and life insurance. The job includes 12 paid holidays and paid training, with opportunities for evening routes, field trips and summer routes. Learn more and apply: rps205.com/bus-drivers 

Thank you again for your support through this difficult time.  

Sincerely,  

Mike Slife, RPS 205 Executive Director of Transportation 

Mike Phillips, RPS 205 Chief Operations Officer
