Fort Bend ISD’s Transportation Department will hold two hiring events for bus drivers and bus driver trainees in June, district officials announced in a May 26 news release.
The hiring fairs come after FBISD officials recommended spending $1.7 million of the 2026-27 budget on increasing starting pay, monitor pay and sign-on bonuses for bus drivers and monitors due to the district having trouble filling those roles, Community Impact previously reported.
