The training will be for individuals to drive school buses for Vance County Schools. Participants will be given applications for a VCS school bus driver to be completed by the third day of the class. Participants who use a VCS yellow bus to complete the driving part of the class must commit to drive for the school system for one year as a part-time or substitute driver.
Failure to meet this commitment to drive for Vance County Schools will result in participants being charged for the use of the bus during road training and the background check completed by the school system.
