School districts throughout the U.S. are struggling to find school bus drivers, a challenge that has worsened with low unemployment and a strong economy.

Don’t forget parents of kids train them to drive professionally as know they can do the job! Don’t forget retirees love to make few extra dollars!

Thanx to realDonaldTrump

So is everyone just going to ignore the sign that says “Remember to do your child”?!

50 years of oil reserves left we should start free home schooling 4th-12th and college. Save billions on fuel, no more bus accidents, schools are germ factories, no more school shooting, no more bullying. How much will new fleets of electric NG or Hydrogen busses cost?

that is why usa needs immigrants

They responsibility is enormous! More disrespectful children every year! The schedule isn't easy! Why do I know this? I AM A BUS DRIVER! Bus drivers pay is NOT enough for what we do!

Had nothing to do with a strong economy but more of the strong smell that comes with these little fuckers. The stink and they are loud. Never good for hangovers.

This can be solved by placing two adults on each bus. One to drive another to maintain control. Also video to be used as evidence when a student is up for a discipline hearing

Strong economy bullshit flake phony government news and numbers alot pg mlm people will be losing there jobs starting in January don't believe the hype

That's not why! The pay sucks and it's part-time at odd hours for me!

Maybe try paying better

So for purposes of this article, the economy is strong. But when it involves POTUS , it's shaky at best.

And that's why Otto never lost his job...

Pay them more.

Not helping with unlimited immigration flooding schools with children either

And crappy pay, hours, and sometimes unsafe or mechanically unsound equipment....

Drop off students in morning & pick them up in afternoon so whole day is gone with little pay no wonder nobody wants to do the job. I concern the quality of school bus drivers that affect safety of kids.

$25.00/hour with healthcare benefits should do it

Solution is simple. Pay them better.

It's all built around TeachersUnions, why do kids have to go to school at different times all day? 8-3. ProblemSolved then you will get more hires. The prison mentality in schools. Kick them off the bus and out of school.

Little children are bad. Misbehave and no manners. So yeah sign me up.

Wow well done ABC news you actually managed to put a negative spin on a positive

Maybe because school districts list these as part time jobs and/or have no benefits .... like health care .....

I live in a small city in Central NY and our school district has had a hard time getting and keeping bus drivers.

This is why

And low pay for a job with major responsibility.

That cropping on the photo is... rather unfortunate...

Not to mention you have to get a CDL with a passenger endorsement, which can be difficult, and then you have to put up with badass kids when you could be using that CDL for a much better job with much better pay. Economy has dick to do with it.

😔 😔

Oh, you mean the pay is terrible?

Walk to school

Yet the Republican Congress won't make any substantive changes to existing, archaic, gun laws. Time to throw them out. Also, time to use metal detectors and hire police/armed security at most schools. Where metal detectors aren't feasible (warm weather schools), use fencing!
