Bus Troubles Continue for Unit 5

Unit 5 officials continue to blame First Student for ongoing busing problems at Wednesday night's school board meeting. At that same meeting,  representatives from the bus contractor apologized to a lot of angry parents. First Student says it is experiencing a nationwide bus driver shortage.  More  than 10 percent of the drivers have been absent each day. With a lack of substitute drivers, buses are running extra routes to pick up students, resulting in overcrowded and late buses.
