The Aldine Independent School District celebrates School Bus Driver Appreciation Day on Tuesday, February 22.

Aldine ISD bus drivers are tasked with getting students to and from school safely and on time each day. It’s a critical job that ensures students get to school to learn.

“Bus drivers are often the first person from the district that many of our students see every day,” said Germán Enamorado, executive director of transportation. “We appreciate our bus drivers and recognize their commitment. Our bus drivers support and keep our athletic teams safe as they travel to games, and non-student athletes go to contests and field trips. Our bus drivers are an integral part of our team.”

Aldine ISD School Bus Transportation Facts

It takes a village to raise or teach a child. It can also take a small army of bus drivers, mechanics, and many individuals that work in our Transportation Department. They ensure busses are running and safely transport our students to and from school every day.

School buses have also had an impact on our community. The Houston area has seen high water during torrential downpours, hurricanes, and tropical storms in recent years. It is not unusual to see our busses in areas of need evacuating flood victims.

Bus drivers are another pair of eyes in our neighborhoods and have come to a student’s aide more than once.

These individuals are also trained in providing first aid like CPR should the need arise.

Aldine ISD is Hiring

Currently, Aldine ISD is looking for safe, friendly bus drivers and diesel mechanics. Visit the Transportation Department at AldineISD.org or call (281) 985-6192.
