JCPS Bus Driver Shortage Prompts Call for Federal Assistance and Parent Involvement
TL;DR
Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) in Kentucky reported that all bus riders were dropped off at their stops by 7:13 p.m. on Tuesday, marking an improvement from previous transportation issues that caused delays of up to 9:58 p.m. JCPS had canceled classes for a week due to these problems, but students have now returned to school. The district has implemented a new "Return to School" website to assist parents and is seeking forgiveness for missed days to avoid extending the school year.
