More than 50 new bus drivers will soon be behind the wheel for the Anchorage School District, helping to reduce the number of unstaffed routes that hamper student transportation as the new school year begins.
“I recognize the level of frustration and pain felt by the many members of our community as a result of the bus driver shortage. Know that this is an urgent matter and that my top priority going into this new school year is getting the district closer to a level of bus service that families expect from their school district,” Bryantt said. “As of today, we are on track to have over 55 additional licensed drivers on the road by the end of September, and we believe that number will keep rising.
Bryantt said that 16 new drivers have begun their training, seven more will begin training next week, another 16 are being interviewed prior to training, and 17 more will begin driving ASD buses on Sept. 19.
