UPDATE: Mat-Su schools are telling parents and guardians they will have to pick up children after classes today.
Bus drivers picket outside the bus barn in Wasilla on Thursday, Jan. 26. The drivers want better wages and other concessions from Durham School Services, which operates school buses for the Mat-Su Borough School District.
The action does not pertain to schools in the Upper Susitna Valley and Glacier View areas, which are served by Bunker and Bunker and Glacier View Transportation, officials say. That leaves parents and guardians responsible for transporting students to and from school, as well as for school-related activities, the district said in a statement late Tuesday morning.“We are disappointed to report that the local Teamsters Union, representing bus drivers and attendants working for Durham School Services, chose to strike with no advanced notice to the District after delivering students to school this morning,” district officials said.
