In Lynn, schools have reopened for some, but students haven’t returned everywhere just yet.
Children are absent from school buses though because the familiar black-and-yellow vehicles are absent from the city’s streets.
Lynn Public Schools Superintendent Patrick Tutwiler told the city’s School Committee last week the district has opted to temporarily suspend its transportation services because there aren’t enough drivers to transport all students who rely on the bus. Families were first notified of the issue when service was cut last month.
The problem, Tutwiler said, stems from a nationwide bus driver shortage and Massachusetts is no outlier.
