While everyone is arguing about whether or not children should wear masks or not.
Or If they should even be in the classroom at all.
There's this issue with the economy and the labor market...low paying jobs are going unfilled.
And that directly affects the quintessential "School Bus Driver".
A School Bus Driver needs to hold a Class B CDL with no air brake restriction and an F endorsement and pass a background check (no more sexual predators allowed to drive busses anymore)
All for the impossible job of watching the road, keeping an eye on the loud, obnoxious children and get them to school on time...as a part-time job that has a split shift. (And yes you have to clean up the bus every day)
Well... nobody (that might actually qualify) wants the low paying job working for the districts. Nashville school districts alone are short somewhere to the tune of 60 drivers.
That doesn't include the surrounding counties.
And this is not just TN....just about every school district in America is running short of drivers.
Bus driver shortage impacts small business contractors
Anybody else want a crappy job for low pay?
