Improvements in JCPS busing: Reduced delays, increased student numbers

Jefferson County Public Schools in Kentucky experienced smoother operations with their new busing system as elementary and middle school students returned to school. Although there were still some delays, improvements were made compared to the previous week. The district hired additional drivers and buses, implemented short-term adjustments, and increased communication channels. However, the real test awaits as high school students are set to return, adding more students to the busing mix. District leaders acknowledge that these are temporary solutions and not long-term fixes. Despite the challenges, the district is committed to ensuring student safety and finding more substantial solutions.
