ECISD Faces Bus Driver Shortage and Pay Gaps
ECISD transportation chief Morris notes starting pay is 11.28 per hour with a 3 percent raise from the midpoint, but oilfield salaries remain higher. The district needs about 150 drivers but has about 130, amid tough competition and a rough year for staffing. Brenda Lee and Tammy White discuss deployment, CDL requirements, training, and handling student behavior as new drivers join, including Larissa Bright who recently moved to the Permian Basin and aims to become a science teacher while driving.
