A new program has been announced this week in the Lockhart Independent School District designed to help teachers and staff members offset the rising cost of gasoline at the fuel pumps. Known as “Drive.Pair.Share,” it’s tailored for district employees who live outside of the Lockhart itself.
As explained by district officials, any staff who lives 10 miles or more from the city can pair up with at least one other staff member who also lives 10 miles or more away and carpool. The driver of the vehicle can earn $10 a day from the district while the others in the car can save on gas, according to Superintendent Mark Estrada.
“Stay tuned for more details later this summer. The program will launch on August 1!” Estrada said.
