Northern Virginia District PTA

Your Road Map to Successful Recruiting

General

• Linked to this page are the tools (marketing material) you need to get you started recruiting bus driver candidates for FCPS. 
• Quite simply there is not all that much you have to do.  Your job is to spread the word of the driver shortage and the great job opportunity using the material offered and delivered through your PTA’s and school’s established and informal communication networks.  FCPS does the rest of the work once your candidate calls the application center number listed on the form and schedules a Bus Driver Information Briefing.
• Using our suggested marketing tools at this site in combination with your own imagination and initiative and you can’t help but be successful.  .
• Use of your networks and personal contacts will be the key to your success.  The personal approach always works best.  Networking is how you really match good people with good jobs. 
• You are encouraged to recruit from within and outside your school community.
• PTAs affiliated with FCPS and other non-affiliated District PTAs are invited to participate.
  • Unfortunately there is no incentive award for the non-affiliated PTAs.
  •  Non-affiliated PTAs will primarily participate out of public service to their school’s families, to FCPS and for the greater good of the community. 
• Candidates recruited by FCPS affiliated PTAs must identify themselves as such upon application to FCPS or your PTA will not receive the credit towards a $1000 finders fee! 
  • There is no upper limit on what you can earn. 
  •  Great idea for a fund raiser, right?
•  Good Luck and thank you for your efforts to help resolve this critical shortage.
