All SPS support staff team members receive a comprehensive benefits package, including paid medical, dental and a retirement plan for part-time work. Bus drivers can work flexible schedules, with no weekend or holiday work required. In addition, there’s no experience necessary to drive a bus or serve in a support role at Springfield Public Schools, with exceptional benefits available for all eligible SPS employees.

“We recognize that competitive wages are necessary to attract top talent,” said Dr. John Mulford, Deputy Superintendent of Operations. “This includes maintaining competitive wages for our incredible teachers, as well as providing benefits sooner to our transportation and food service team members. These positions are critical to our students’ success at school every day, and we need fully staffed teams in order for our schools to thrive.”

In addition to bus drivers, SPS is looking for bus attendants to support students entering and exiting a school bus safely each day. Bus attendants are critically important to the transportation team and earn $15-18.45 an hour, before and after school.
