LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Schools across Kentucky and southern Indiana are preparing for the upcoming school year and many of them are looking for new employees.
These districts aren't just looking for teachers. Bus driver, custodial and grounds keeping jobs are available too. Some districts have hundreds of job openings due to recruiting and staffing challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Bus drivers are currently the number one opening at Hardin, Shelby, Oldham, and Jefferson County Schools. Some districts, including Oldham and Hardin County, have increased pay and benefits for their employees to encourage more applicants.
