“Fortunately, due to bell schedule and bus route modifications that will take effect this upcoming school year, the District is not currently experiencing a driver shortage,” says Vierling. “However, we regularly hire drivers and other transportation staff throughout the school year to continually improve upon services available to eligible riders.”
300 Teaching Positions Open
The District currently has vacancies for 300 teachers.
“As the fifth-largest school district in the State of Texas, Katy ISD is known for hiring and retaining some of the best educators in the nation,” says Vierling. “Throughout the summer, Katy ISD continues to recruit and hire qualified individuals.”
