Bus Driver Training

The Regional Office of Education #13 is responsible for conducting and keeping records of the initial training that is required for all new school bus drivers prior to getting a bus permit, and the annual refresher workshop that is required in the twelve month period prior to renewing their school bus permit. Experienced drivers must take a two hour refresher course annually, and all new rivers must take an eight hour course in school bus driver safety and first aid, as prescribed by the Illinois State Board of Education and administered by the ROE.
