The need for quality school bus drivers is present in many school districts, but MSD of Wabash County is offering potential candidates the opportunity to try it out with no strings attached.

MSD of Wabash County is hosting the “Test Drive a School Bus” event on Saturday, April 22, from 9 a.m. to noon at Northfield Jr/Sr High School in the East Parking Lot.
