SECOND DIVISION INITIAL

Eight hours of required training for all new drivers who will hold a CDL.

FIRST DIVISION REFRESHER

An annual two-hour training that must be completed within a 12-month period (364 days). Once that timeframe passes, a driver cannot transport children until their school bus refresher class is completed before renewing their school bus permit.

SECOND DIVISION REFRESHER

An annual two-hour training that must be completed within a 12-month period (364 days). Once that timeframe passes, a driver cannot transport children until their school bus refresher class is completed before renewing their CDL.

 Drivers planning to attend a class must register and have paid the $10 registration fee online.

Drivers will not be able to take the class without meeting these requirements and being on participant list.

There will be no admission after the class has begun. 

 

Cancellations will only be accepted and refunds issued if participants call the ROE

four (4) business days before the date of the class or if the class is canceled.
