The regions economic resurgence is making it harder for school districts to keep bus drivers, part of a shortage playing out statewide. Urban and suburban school districts across Texas report openings for drivers, and many are straining to fill them. Signing bonuses are common: Coppell ISD, a suburb northwest of Dallas, offers $1,200; Austin ISD, $400; for drivers who already have a commercial license, Dallas County Schools offers $500 - plus a matching $500 to any employee who refers such a prospect.
