LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Miss. (Queen City Newsfeed) – The Lauderdale County School District is actively hiring bus drivers as it works to address ongoing staffing needs across the district.

Officials said the demand for bus drivers is year-round due to retirements, illnesses and other factors that routinely create vacancies. At certain times during the school year, the need becomes more urgent.

As the district approaches the final stretch of the academic year, administrators are seeking to fill multiple vacant positions. The openings are suited for individuals looking for part-time employment or those seeking a steady job with consistent hours and a defined role in supporting students and families.

The district offers full benefits, paid training and competitive pay for qualified applicants.

School leaders are asking community members to help spread the word about the available positions. District officials are also available to provide additional information about the hiring effort and the application process.
