Durham Public Schools will host a career fair on Tuesday, Jan. 21, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Minnie Forte-Brown Staff Development Center, 2107 Hillandale Road.
The fair comes during a shortage of bus drivers that has led the district to implement a series of stopgap measures, including asking parents to supplement bus transportation one day per week and requiring families who live within one mile of 21 elementary schools to find alternative transportation.
District officials said last week that the school system needs between 30 and 65 additional bus drivers to ease the shortage.
The career fair aims to hire bus drivers, community education staff, instructional assistants and maintenance technicians.
