Bus Drivers Needed

Be a bus driver or monitor

Bus drivers and bus monitors contribute to the academic success of Richardson ISD. Connections are made with students daily as mentors, observers and, at times, confidants.

RISD invites community members to be a bus driver or bus monitor for the 2021-22 school year. Click here to view the flyer en español.
