Anne Arundel County school system anticipates fall bus driver shortage

Anne Arundel County Public Schools anticipates between 45 and 50 driver vacancies among bus routes next school year, similar to where the system ended this school year, interim Superintendent Monique Jackson told the Board of Education Wednesday. Thousands of students last year were affected by late bus service, and in many cases no bus service at all. The disruptions were caused by a driver shortage, which AACPS says is a national problem. The system has been working with contractors to fill empty jobs.
