Fort Lauderdale, FL
see the full file on Broward County Public Schools| Paid training | Bus Operator training is paid: new hires earn $17.00 an hour during training and step up to $21.00 an hour once they finish. Training is 40 hours preservice — at least 20 hours classroom and 8 hours behind the wheel on the Florida DOE Basic School Bus Driver Curriculum — plus 8 hours of in-service every year. No repayment clause is stated in the posting. |
|---|---|
| No experience needed | A high school diploma or GED is PREFERRED, not required, for Bus Operator — it sits under preferred qualifications, while the minimum qualifications are English fluency, five years of licensed driving and a clean five-year driving record. A Florida CDL is needed before you carry students, but the district trains you to it. Food and Nutrition Services General Worker also lists the diploma or GED only as preferred. |
| Union contract | Support staff pay and the length of the work year are set by the School Board subject to a collective bargaining agreement — the district states this in the terms of employment on its support-staff job postings. |
| Hours a week to qualify | Food and Nutrition Services General Worker is posted at 7 hours a day at $15.84 an hour, on a district work calendar — a cafeteria job built around the school day rather than a full 8-hour shift. |
| Pension | Florida Retirement System membership is compulsory, not optional, for employees of a district school board — support staff included — from the date of employment, provided the job is a regularly established position (one expected to last beyond six consecutive months). Regular Class members can take the FRS Pension Plan (defined benefit) or the Investment Plan. FRS does not replace Social Security in Florida. |
