ParentView App
Dear Parents,
We're happy to announce that Bridgeport ISD will be launching an innovative transportation solution for our school buses, Busview, which provides GPS tracking for buses and student monitoring via RFID cards.
BusView monitors bus location, speed, turns, and other key bus metrics, as well as where/when students board and exit buses in real-time. This enables us to closely monitor buses to know where they are along routes and to respond to all transportation issues proactively. It also provides peace of mind for parents, as there is no more worrying if your kids made it on the correct bus or got off at the right stop.
There is also an app for parents, which enables you to see when your child boards and exits buses with time and location stamps. To install the ParentView app, visit either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and Search for "NFT Parent View" and install the app on your phone or you can use the QR Code that is provided.
Join Our Team
Becoming a professional school bus driver is a noble endeavor. We accept school bus driver applications throughout the year. We emphasize workplace ownership, inclusion and excellence and are committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best talent, who have diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.
Possessing a Commercial Driver’s License with a P & S endorsement is required. If you do not have one while applying, we perform all the training in-house and can help you transition from your C license to a commercial. A positive driving record is a must, as we transport Bridgeport ISD's most precious cargo. Starting pay is $17.41/hour without experience. We follow a pay scale that ranges from $17.41 - $24.05 depending on experience.
