SOLON, Ohio-The Solon City School District faces a critical shortage of bus drivers, jeopardizing transportation services for the upcoming school year. Superintendent Fred Bolden notified the Board of Education that unless at least eight additional drivers are hired by August, the district won’t sustain its current transportation levels.
Families must opt-in for bus transportation by May 31, with scenarios outlined based on driver availability. Despite recruitment efforts, only limited success has been achieved, though optimism arose from an open house event. The district emphasizes the importance of families opting in early to facilitate necessary adjustments.
