[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you have no clue what’s going on. First, there is a shortage of people willing to drive busses at all. Second, between driver salaries and equipment costs, it’s about a million dollars a year for each bus they run. So no, laying off one administrator will not gain you 2-3 more bus routes. Not even close. [/quote] +1 bus driver shortages have been going on for many years across the country. Some of it is demographic, people who drive buses tend to be older and aren’t getting replaced. I do think one possible bandaid would be to put the bus drivers on salary instead of hourly, like they do with A-Scale employees, pay them for 7 hours a day so that they don’t need to fill in the middle gap between morning and afternoon bus routes. I think that would be more attractive to some, others could do a .5 (just morning or afternoon)[/quote]
