CEISD has launched the Char-Em ISD Leaders in Education podcast featuring experts in education covering a variety of subjects and topics. We will be adding new podcasts regularly. The Career and Technical Education Department has also started a new podcast, the Career Tech Effect. The CTE podcasts can be found on the Leaders in Education podcast network.

Precious cargo aboard! Char-Em ISD is looking for substitute bus drivers and riders/aides for our multiple bus routes to and from Char-Em programs. Flexible hours and days mean you choose when you can provide coverage of routes. Char-Em pays for all required driver training (written testing and on-road testing), so experience is not necessary. Experience working with special needs children is not required, but is helpful, as is a compassionate personality. Because of the wide geographical area covered by Char-Em, we pay you from when you leave the house to get to your assigned transportation route each day that you work. Routes may be in Charlevoix, Emmet and northern Antrim counties. Those interested may also start as (paid) aides rather than driver, to see if the job is a good fit.
