"JCPS Faces Bus Driver Shortage, Forces Cancellation of Routes"

At least 85 bus drivers have called out for Monday, resulting in the cancellation of 47 bus routes in Jefferson County Public Schools. The drivers cite issues with student behavior, long routes, and a lack of support from the school district. The "sickout" is directed towards district leaders, and the district is changing the student discipline process in response. More drivers are expected to call out, and families are encouraged to find alternative transportation. Absences will be excused for affected students.
