Wiscasset schools’ maintenance and transportation director John Merry told the school committee Tuesday night, April 27, he has spoken with someone about bus service and would be again, then he would talk with Superintendent of Schools Terry Wood.
Committee member Indriani Demers asked if Merry was referring to contracted bus service. Yes, said member Michelle Blagdon. “We’re having such a hard time filling (driver) positions. We’re always short . we’ve spent the last four years being short on bus drivers. This way, we’d at least know our buses are all covered. We won’t have to pull staff to drive buses.”
