I used to do payroll for a school district with in-house busing (most of them use an outside company), the job paid at least $18/hour 10 years ago, plus if they worked a certain # of hours they could get insurance, and they were in the PA teachers retirement system. Used to be a good job for farmers with the mid-day and summers off, but there aren’t a lot of farmers around here anymore.
