Last night the CCR2 Board of Education approved some incentives to help attract and retain bus drivers which include:

2. Activity trips: guarantee $50 minimum per trip. $15.47 an hour (with the understanding that routes are the primary responsibility). 

3. Coach drivers: Coaches who drive their own trips will receive $50 for driving. Coaches who drive other team trips will receive the hourly rate of $15.47 with the guarantee of $50 minimum.
