Staff welcomed students first grade and older back to school on Thursday in the Anchorage School District. While challenges are always present at the start of the new school year, district officials expect the bus driver shortage to be mostly resolved. ASD families will also need to be prepared for a one-hour later start on Mondays this academic year.

A year ago, the Anchorage School District faced a bus driver shortage that resulted in a number of kids having to find their own way to school.

As we head into a new school year, the district is doing its part to make sure buses are staffed and there's not a repeat of the 2022 woes. The district said it needs 227 drivers to fulfill all of its routes, and currently have 223 ready with an additional 18 in training.
