[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that there is a nationwide bus driver shortage.  If students are required to attend school, it seems that now is the time for some outside of the box thinking around this issue.  
Can all schools offer aftercare for working parents?
Can schools operate on some type of hybrid schedule?
Can more students have the option for virtual learning?
Can schools provide more information on private transportation options?

What are your thoughts?  Some schools have dismissal at 1:55 and 2:25 every day.

Our child is in middle school and able to stay home after school but we don’t have a way to get her there if we don’t have a bus.  Our employers are willing to be flexible during this first week of school but what are working parents supposed to do for the entire school year?  [/quote]

Who will staff the aftercare? 
How much would the aftercare charge? 
What if parents have children at multiple schools and don’t have a car to go from school to school collecting 3-4 kids?[/quote]

I’m the original poster and I have all of those same concerns.  Just trying to brainstorm ideas here.  In elementary school, the after care option was so helpful.  We don’t mind paying but I know that isn’t the case for everybody.  Just trying to figure out what other parents are doing if they have to work and need to get their children from school.  [/quote]
