Bus driver shortage may mean doubled-up routes

What happened

On August 10, 2026, the district said it was low on bus drivers and might run some routes twice to start the year, possibly using a district van. A few people were getting their commercial driver's licenses. In September the board hired a transportation director.

Why it matters to families

Doubled routes can mean earlier pickups or later drop-offs for students who ride the bus.

The evidence

August 10, 2026 minutes: 'Bus Routes-Low on drivers this year. We might need to double route some routes to start the year. Considering using the white van as well.'
