“So what happens is these poor students, they sit out there for an hour, two hours waiting for a bus,” said Nagy.
Bus drivers say that’s because there are more routes than drivers, and as a result, they are being overworked.Kids are being missed, left behind and are regularly late for school.
“They’re trying to get shuffled around to sometimes two or three different buses to try to figure out which bus will be taking them home that day,” said Brandy Heassler, Bethel bus driver. The district says all of their driver positions for the year are filled. There are 138 bus drivers and 20 substitutes but says there’s a shortage when it comes to covering daily absences.“Friday was very chaotic. We got an email and a notification in the middle of the night that they may not have buses… I feel our students are being punished and it’s making it hard for them to get a good education,” said Nagy.for a substitute bus driver says pay starts at $25 an hour.
Tuesday at 7 p.m. there’s a school board meeting. Parents and bus drivers say they plan to attend and voice their concerns.
