We hope you are enjoying the first weeks of summer break. To learn more, the positions are posted on the Peak to Peak website HERE.
If you, or someone you know, are interested, please contact Sam Todd at Also, if you know any existing school bus drivers who might be interested in joining the P2P team, we would welcome their application for employment. Candidates will be compensated for the time spent in the certification process.
To get the school bus endorsement, we will work with BVSD's certified bus driver trainers to help candidates get the necessary classroom and behind-the-wheel training. To qualify for a bus driver position, one must possess or obtain a commercial driver's license and get the school bus endorsement.
The bus driver position at Peak to Peak is designed to guarantee a minimum of 20 hours of work per week starting at $22.66/hour, and provides full employee benefits. While we have one driver hired and one other interested in completing the certification process, we still need at least one more driver and a back-up driver. In order to make this opportunity a reality, we will also need school bus drivers. This summer we are expanding our north parking lot to provide a location to house the buses, including the infrastructure necessary to power the buses. These school buses will include three 71-passenger buses (Type-C) and one 24-passenger bus (Type A), which will be used to transport students on field trips to various locations, take students to athletic competitions, take Kindergartners to swim lessons, and potentially provide limited morning pick-up service to families in our local communities. Our school community is embarking on an exciting new transportation program where we will have four new electric-powered school buses in August.
“It is time for our children to get back to normal.Bus Drivers Needed for Peak to Peak's New Electric Buses “The data is now clear,” said parent Aimee Shirk. Boulder County Public Health continues to recommend masks indoors in school settings for all students. Three parents spoke at Tuesday’s meeting to ask the district to remove its mask requirement, saying it’s stricter than state public health guidance that allow students under 12, as well as those 12 and up who are vaccinated, to forgo masks indoors. For summer programs, the district continues to require masks indoors and quarantine students after a coronavirus exposure at school.
No meetings are scheduled in July, so the next meeting will be in August.ĭistrict officials plan to share an update with the community in July on what pandemic restrictions will be in place for the next school year. The school board also agreed to cancel its second meeting in June. “The board continues to value his focus and energy around improving student outcomes, even while spending countless hours on operating issues related to the opening of schools to in-person learning,” according to the evaluation. In his evaluation, the board praised Anderson for making progress on the district’s strategic plan, moving forward with the “equal school day” plan that standardizes the length of the elementary school day, moving away from SROs, launching two equity councils, and engaging more with local and state legislators. Anderson will start his fourth year in Boulder Valley in the fall. The contract for Superintendent Rob Anderson also was extended to 2024, and his salary bumped up to $278,091, a 5% increase after a positive evaluation. The bonuses, which will be paid in July, will be given to each staff member who worked at least sometime during the school year will receive $500 plus another 1% based on wages earned that year. Other employee groups will receive similar cost of living increases, as well as a one-time bonus. Negotiating teams for the Boulder Valley Education Association and the school district previously agreed to a 3% cost-of-living raise next school year for teachers, plus a one-time bonus.
