Board lets bus company subcontract three routes after losing 30 drivers

What happened

The board approved a request from bus contractor EBT to subcontract three routes to another company. EBT lost 30 drivers at the start of the year. The superintendent said many families saw bus delays and that it has no cost effect on the contract.

Why it matters to families

Rides to school may be late while the driver shortage continues. The district says other Long Island districts have the same problem.
