REVISED DATES FOR BUS DRIVER TRAINING
The school bus driver training sessions provided by Vance County Schools have been rescheduled due to a conflict with the instructor’s calendar to Monday, June 27, through Thursday, June 30, at L.B. Yancey Elementary School.
Interested persons must attend the training on each of the first three days to receive certification. Vance County Schools will only be training individuals to drive school buses. The instructor will do retesting for those who need it on the fourth day.
The training sessions will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at approximately 3 p.m. each day.
Those interested in participating in the training sessions must register five days prior to the sessions with the school system’s Transportation Department, located at 226 Welcome Avenue off Raleigh Road south of Henderson. For additional information, call the Transportation Department at 438-5012.
