Mullen Public Schools have the following vacancies for the 2026-2027 school year:
Bus Driver
Three Full Time Routes
Would consider Part Time Routes
These bus routes involve driving a one-half ton Suburban to transport children to and from school. Starting pay for bus drivers is $15.00/hourly and can be negotiated based on experience. Route pay is anywhere from $30 per daily route both ways up to $80 per daily route both ways based on experience of the driver and length of the route. Drivers are always paid for the full route unless there are zero students riding. Benefits include a conference activity pass and one-half of a single insurance policy. Would consider a job sharing situation with one driver running the morning route and a different driver running the evening route or alternate day route. Would consider AM and PM Only route drivers. MPS recently ran this ad and received interest from one person. MPS is running very short on drivers, which if not filled will create route consolidation and meeting spots for transportation pickup and transportation drop off. We plan to run this ad for 4 weeks. If MPS does not receive enough applications to fill the routes, MPS will be forced to consolidate routes and pay mileage to designated meeting points for students who live outside of the 3 mile radius of MPS. Training and physical examination will be paid for by the MPS district. Any questions please contact Mr. Kuncl at the school office.

This elementary custodian position involves a variety of tasks from stocking supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, etc., basic dusting, disinfecting student desks, mopping floors daily amongst other responsibilities. Hours are flexible and can be worked out with the head of maintenance. Starting pay for custodians is scaled starting at $15.00/hour, former experience may be granted along the pay scale with a 2.5% increase on the base for every year of experience. Benefits include a conference activity pass, 12 days of paid time off, 11 paid holidays, and a single insurance policy. Part Time benefits would be adjusted based off of the full-time equivalency percentage.
