To become a School Bus Driver you must:

1. Pass our qualifications and requirements check
2. Apply to become a TASD School Bus Driver through WECAN
3. Complete training and testing for your CDL (S) license 
   • This is paid for by the School District for qualifying applicants
   • This includes classroom training, ride-alongs with an experienced driver, and testing through the WI DMV
4. Maintain CDL (S)
   • Stay in compliance with the WI DMV by passing a physical exam to make sure you still meet the health, hearing and vision requirements to transport children

Your health or driving record does not have to be perfect to apply! The WI DMV explains disqualifying identifiers on one's background check or license history. Click the link below to verify you still qualify:
