Transportation
Despite PAUSD’s best efforts to fill the open bus driver positions, we regret to inform you that PAUSD will not be able to resume transportation services for Stanford West and Los Altos Hills (routes J and Z) for the 2022-2023 Fall Semester. These are the routes that serve Nixon Elementary, Ellen Fletcher Middle School, and Gunn High School.
PAUSD continues to focus efforts on its driver recruitment campaign to attract, train, certify, and hire additional school bus drivers.
Please share the information regarding PAUSD’s free school bus driver training program with anyone who may be interested. If you are, or know of, a certified school bus driver, you may apply for a position at PAUSD School Bus Driver Application.
Consideration will be given to resume our Routes J and Z service as our bus driver staffing allows. If you have any questions or concerns, please use Let's Talk to reach our staff.
