EVSC to Host Bus Driver Career Fair
Are you looking for a career change? Driving our future with part-time hours and full-time benefits is the message that the EVSC’s Office of Transportation wants people to know about school bus drivers. To help get that message out and to find new drivers, the EVSC is hosting a Bus Driver Career Fair on Monday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Enlow Field (beside Bosse High School) in Evansville.
The career fair will give interested individuals an opportunity to get behind the wheel of a school bus and talk with EVSC Bus Transportation management. EVSC trainers also will be available to answer any questions related to driving a school bus such as work schedule, licensing, school bus laws and more. In addition, the EVSC will be holding on-the-spot interviews for interested individuals.
To attend the event, individuals must have a current driver’s license. No CDL is required at this time. Once hired, the EVSC will train individuals and assist them in getting their CDL.
As a school bus driver, individuals work from approximately 6 to 8 a.m. and again from 2 to 4 p.m. with additional hours available, if interested. Full-time benefits including medical insurance, holiday pay, personal and sick leave and more are available to EVSC drivers.
For more information, visit www.evscschools.com and see the link for Bus Driver Career Fair under Community at the top, or call 435-1BUS.

Steve Davis is Supporting Gail Riecken for Mayor
City Council Candidate for Evansville’s 2nd Ward, Steve Davis, released a statement today  to the CCO announcing his support for Democratic Mayoral candidate Gail Riecken.  We welcome any other candidate to send us a letter of endorsement to either Mayoral candidate.  We shall post it without opinion or editing.
When asked what prompted the endorsement of Mrs. Riecken for Mayor, Davis replied, “I’m a Democrat, and I believe in the principles of the Democratic Party. One wouldn’t think it necessary for a Democrat to specify their preference for Mayor, but in my race it is necessary and distinguishes me from my opponent. It is not a secret who my opponent supported in 2011 and who she has blindly followed for over three years.”
Democrat Gail Riecken threw her hat in the ring in January of this year for the Mayor’s race, and is a three-term State Representative and former City Council member. In describing his passion to see Riecken elected, Davis stated, “Riecken is an impressive candidate with the proven track record to lead this community out of debt and into economic prosperity. I fully stand behind her, and as I walk the 2nd Ward I talk about her to voters. I support her now and will continue to work for her election after the primary, win or lose. I’m committed to new ideas and seeing a change in leadership on City Council and for this Community.”
