Hello Ambridge Area School District Families,
Transportation for Schools all over our country are encountering very difficult scheduling issues due to employee shortages. Our contracted carrier, Rhodes Transit, is not immune to this difficult situation. They are actively seeking employees all the time, but the vetting process takes time with clearances, drug testing etc. With this difficult situation at hand The Board of Directors and Dr. Pasquerilla have been brainstorming potential options. One such option is to reach out to all of you to see if there is an interest in helping with this employee shortage. If you are interested and have the time to drive bus or van in the morning, afternoon or for extra-curricular activities please follow the three easy steps below:
- Email Julie Ruckert Rhodes Transportation Recruitment Director at jruckert@rhodestransit.com
- Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCpGMD7I6wQ
and/or
- For more information Rhodes will be available during the next two board meetings (September 14 and September 21) with a recruitment team from 6:30 – to end of meeting to answer all your employment questions. They are offering a signing bonus.
Even one person can have an impact on the driver shortage right now. The district has reached out to our employees for help and have had a good response, but we still need drivers. We appreciate your consideration of this matter.
