BUHLER, Kan. — The Buhler School District is still short on bus drivers and are looking for solutions to the problem. A full report on transportation was given to the school board during their regular meeting.
Like most rural districts, Buhler has been short of bus drivers since the start of the year. Efforts to get more drivers have been unsuccessful, so other ideas are being entertained.
Some of the possible solutions include using a hub type system where a certain school is the hub for picking up and dropping off students. Another possibility is to widen the stagger of the start times for various schools allowing bus drivers to run longer routes or even two routes.
No decisions have been made and the hope is still to find more bus drivers to cover routes and activities. No action was taken during Monday’s meeting.
