Bus problems have been happening since the start of school and parents say some kids were still not picked up by buses this week.
Buses for the district are provided by We Transport. The company says it is struggling to find drivers.
“We have three uncovered routes. Which proportionally is less than 10% of our overall 170 routes that we’re doing. Which again, is no solace to the kids not getting a bus,” says Robert Quinn, We Transport COO.
School officials tell News 12 in a statement that they will “continue to address these extremely important issues until a final resolution is in place.”
