POSITION SUMMARY
Join the best of San Antonio and make San Antonio even better!
In 2011, Mayor Julián Castro convened a blue ribbon task-force of Chief Executive Officers, Superintendents, and education professionals to identify the most effective method for improving the quality of education in San Antonio. Their research shows high-quality prekindergarten has the most impact in improving overall education outcomes for a community and helps children to learn and read on grade-level, making them less likely to fall behind their classmates and more likely to graduate and attend college. As part of this community effort Star Shuttle & Charter is looking to hire the best school bus drivers to help these at risk students to become their best.
