The district is looking for full-time and part-time drivers with a starting pay of $15.75 an hour. All drivers, including part-time employees, are eligible to receive benefits.

CMS is also looking for teachers, food service personnel and support staff workers for its Camp CMS event that began this week. The district told WCNC Charlotte earlier this month they planned to hire more than 2,300 teachers for Camp CMS.

CMS is offering teachers a $1,200 bonus for three weeks or a $2,500 bonus for six weeks, in addition to a teacher’s regular state rate of pay.
