School districts across Arizona are working through the summer to find more bus drivers, as a shortage continues nationwide. MORE ⬇️
It’s a job that’s much needed in schools in order for some students to get the education they need. However, not enough people are signing up to be a school bus driver.
Meanwhile, the Paradise Valley Unified School District says they need twice as many drivers as they have. They haven’t had to consolidate routes yet, however, George said their drivers are doing multiple routes in the morning and afternoons. This means some drivers will have to go pick up elementary school students, then middle school students and sometimes even high school students depending on the route and area.“Do I believe this is sustainable in the long term? Absolutely not. We have to hire. We have to figure things out,” George said.
