Board hears transportation staffing update as potential bus-driver candidates emerge
Summary
Director reported a countywide driver shortage and encouraged board members to reach out to the transportation director; a parent advisory attendee said at least one person will take the driver test soon and another showed interest in training.
The board received an update on transportation staffing, with the director reporting on driver counts and average driver age and encouraging direct engagement with bus drivers and the transportation director to understand needs. At the parent advisory council, at least one person indicated they will take the bus‑driver test in two weeks, and another expressed interest in training — potential short‑term additions that the director said could help ease staffing gaps.
Board members suggested more active outreach and suggested the district could do targeted recruitment or training; the director noted budget lines for open positions and said job postings remain active. No formal action was taken.
