Manhattan-Ogden focused its hiring efforts on recruiting more bus drivers and para-educators for the upcoming school year. While the need for paras varies year to year based on how many students need their assistance, USD 383’s human resources director said the school district is hopeful about recruiting additional bus drivers.
“Those are the two we focused heavily on throughout the year,” HR director Abby Bowen said.
Bowen said the district had big interview days for each position and advertised the need for paras and bus drivers with signs. This advertising included a large sign on a school bus parked next to the Lincoln Education Center.
