The recent warmer temperatures have melted a lot of snow and ice in the past week, creating a challenge for school bus drivers on rural gravel roads.
Mid-Prairie School District Director of Transportation Teresa Hartley says it’s the time of the year when constant thawing can lead to soggy, muddy, gravel roads. She says deciding if a road is too soft for a school bus to use is a team effort between herself, Superintendent Mark Schneider, and her drivers.
