The ones they paid, stayed. They still had attrition during 2020 summer and 2021 summer - they always do. Bus drivers have a high turnover rate normally. If they hadn’t kept them busy last year, they would also have list the long term drivers by forcing them to find new jobs.

Just like those pregnant women who go on paid maternity leave and then quit their jobs. Dang!

We have the same bus drivers we had pre-pandemic. So I’m thrilled they got paid and are back!

They were paid because they are under contract to pay them. That’s how contracted jobs work. Your privilege is highlighting your ignorance OP. Do better.

I don’t know any drivers who were “sitting at home” after those first 2 weeks when everyone was SUPPOSED to be sitting at home.
They were:
Handing out meals at schools
Handing out chromebooks at schools
Delivering meals to the highest need neighborhoods
Staffing the tech distribution center at Gude Dr.
assisting with materials hand outs at schools
Enough with the blame. The driver shortage sucks, my students and I are impacted by it every day, but the drivers who left had their reasons and who are we to begrudge them that. Walk (drive in this case) a mile and see how long you last.

...if they left for better paying jobs as soon as the pandemic ebbed. (Which is their right - just as it’s the County’s right to stop paying someone when you no longer need their services).
All the generosity, failed. Just wanted to circle back on MCPS’ argument for paying these folks to sit at home way back when and then trying to make them Zoom teachers (laughable) when they hit flack.
Just another sign MCPS’s 3 billion dollar budget is bloated and largely focused on the adults (jobs program).
