Before beginning this process, you must apply to be a bus driver with the School District of Osceola County.

That application can be found by clicking this link: Support Staff-Substitute-Bus Driver (osceolaschools.net)

Before you can become a bus driver with the School District of Osceola County, you must get your DOT physical. 

The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles will NOT release your CDL permit until you give them a copy of your physical. 

There are a couple places across Osceola and Orange County that offer DOT physicals. 

You can get your physical done at CVS. The company does not take insurance for the physical and it will be $109. You sign up here: https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/services/dot-physicals

YOU DO NOT have to go to CVS for your physical. You can go somewhere else that is convenient for you.
