Changing bell times among options for schools facing bus driver shortage
LEE’S SUMMIT, Missouri (KCTV, KSMO) Lee’s Summit school parents could find school start and end times changing come fall. It’s one of several options being discussed to address an expected shortage in school bus drivers.
A school bus now sits along Tudor Road for all to see as they drive by. A large banner hung on it reads, “Now Hiring.”
But so are a lot of other folks.
District transportation staff say getting enough people behind the wheel of a school bus has been hard for years. Driving a school bus requires a lot of training, patience and responsibility.
