"Mass Absence of 143 Drivers Disrupts JCPS Morning Drop-offs"

Dozens of bus drivers for Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) in Kentucky called out sick for the second day in a row, leading to the cancellation of at least 47 transportation routes for Monday. The district had already experienced a high number of driver absences on Friday. Despite the driver shortage, classes will not be canceled, and non-traditional instruction will not be an option. The drivers' sickout is not union-backed, and absences will be excused for students affected by transportation issues. JCPS had originally scheduled an off day for Monday but had to cancel classes due to transportation problems.

"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.

JCPS Faces Bus Driver Shortage, Cancels Routes and Receives Heartfelt Letter from Student

Dozens of bus routes in the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) district in Kentucky were canceled on Monday due to a sickout by bus drivers protesting long hours, overcrowded buses, and logistical challenges. The district had already experienced delayed routes on Friday due to driver absences. By Monday morning, a total of 143 drivers had called out sick, prompting the district to proactively cancel routes. This comes after a transportation debacle at the beginning of the school year that led to a week of missed classes.
