Scholar Transportation Driver, Afternoon Route

About us

Fortune School is a network of tuition-free public charter schools serving scholars in Sacramento and San Bernardino. We are launching our first scholar transportation program, and we are hiring the drivers who will run it. The first drivers we hire will help shape how it works.

These are posted as separate morning and afternoon positions. You are welcome to apply for either one or for both. A driver holding both routes works 8 hours per day and is a benefited employee, eligible for medical, dental and vision coverage.
