RE:  Driving for Jeffco 

 

We are excited to offer you a new driving opportunity. Jefferson County School District R-1 (“JCPS”) is experiencing a shortage of bus drivers. We will be accepting volunteers from DPS Transportation Services to help fill the shortage on a temporary basis. During this time, you will get paid your regular DPS wage, plus hours worked on JCPS Transportation routes at their respective hourly rate. 

If you would like to temporarily drive for JCPS, you must agree to the following items:

 

• The qualified personnel will serve as bus drivers for JCPS Transportation routes effective Tuesday, September 8, 2020 through Friday, September 18, 2020.
• During this period of time only, the qualified personnel will receive payment for bidded DPS Transportation routes, plus for hours worked on JCPS Transportation routes at their respective hourly rate. 
• The parties agree that while the qualified personnel is providing JCPS Transportation services, the qualified personnel will be under the supervision and direction of JCPS and its management and supervisory employees.
• The parties agree that JCPS will be responsible for providing adequate direction to the designated drivers who will be operating a JCPS vehicle during the period.

 

To be considered for this work, you must email transportation@dpsk12.org. Once we have enough drivers, seniority will be applied for final choices. Because it is such a short timeline, we must hear from you today. 

 

Thank you,

Albert SamoraExecutive Director of Transportation Services
