The Sampson County school board has made several verbiage changes to a previously approved policy that lists the obtainment of a bus driver’s license as “an essential function” of classified staff jobs.
The policy was previously approved in December of 2024 and requires cafeteria workers, custodians and teacher assistants to obtain a license to drive a bus in order to be employed with Sampson County Schools.
This comes as multiple bus delays have been reported in both the Sampson County and Clinton City school systems.
