Kentucky’s largest school district restarted classes for some students Friday after a bus transportation debacle forced officials to cancel school last week
Jefferson County Public School students stand beside their bus as they prepare to transfer buses on Friday, Aug. 18, 2023 in Louisville, Ky. . Jefferson County Schools, a public district with more than 90,000 students, drew up new bus routes and staggered school start times under a new plan that officials hoped would alleviate issues caused by driver shortages. LOUISVILLE, Ky.
After canceling a week of classes, Jefferson County Public Schools officials used the time off to add resources and help drivers learn new routes that were put in place this year. District officials apologized to outraged parents after the bus disruptions and pledged to improve drop off and pickup times. Friday was the first day back for elementary and middle school students, and high school students will return on Monday.
But there were scattered reports of buses arriving late for school, including for two of Keeley Finn's children. Finn said two of her three children rode the bus Friday morning, and although the buses arrived about 10 minutes late, both children arrived at school long after it had started.“School starts at 8 a.m. and is only about a 12 minute drive from our house,” Finn said.
“She just came on in the house,” she said of her sixth grade daughter, Emma. “I'm hoping she has the same experience on Monday.”
