The district said behind this are more than 130 empty bus driver positions out of about 800 positions, that’s a vacancy rate of about 16%.

The bus tracking website listed dozens of delays Monday morning and afternoon. A spokesperson said that especially affected were the Westside, the Northside, the urban core area, and middle schools.

And the district is assuring parents that students whose buses are significantly late picking them up in the afternoon will be supervised inside until it arrives. Around 2:30 on Monday afternoon, the district’s website showed 40 buses were on time, including here at A. Philip Randolph High School, 35 buses were delayed up to half an hour, and 40 were listed as “working on coverage.”
