Flagstaff USD Adds $1,000 Sign-On Bonus to Attract CDL Bus Drivers
NewsData.io · United States · Sep 28, 2026
The Flagstaff Unified School District governing board approved a $1,000 sign-on bonus for bus driver candidates who already hold a commercial driver's license, supplementing an existing $500 retention bonus and CDL training reimbursement. The district is combating an ongoing bus driver shortage that has affected multiple Flagstaff-area organizations. Recruiters placing CDL-licensed candidates in the Phoenix/Flagstaff region may see increased competition from public school districts offering sign-on incentives for transportation roles.
