“Come roll with us.”

With bus driver shortages across Maine, SAD 61 Director of Transportation, Food Service and Maintenance Andy Madura hopes an open house and career fair might pique the interest of some who might be interested in joining the team.

The event is scheduled for this Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Transportation Department, located on the Lake Region High School campus.

Are you:

Looking for a job with flexible hours?

Wanting the summer off?

Retired, wanting to keep a foot in the workforce?

A mom or dad wanting to pick up extra hours?

Wanting to drive extracurricular trips only?

Become a bus driver!

“This is an excellent opportunity for members of the community to stop in and learn about open positions within the department, view the fleet and facility, meet drivers and ask questions,” Madura said.

SAD 61 offers free training to employees and substitutes looking to obtain a CDL license.

Interested candidates should bring a valid driver’s license to participate in the career fair.

There will be free food, along with activities for kids including a RC race with Buster serving as judge, safety drill demonstration, arts and crafts, and more.
