The Kane County Regional Office of Education is responsible for conducting four types of bus driver trainings:
FIRST DIVISION INITIAL
Eight hours of required training for all new drivers who will operate a 10-passenger vehicle or smaller prior to beginning their job.
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.
