Lack of Bus Drivers Forcing Lake Park Audubon School District to Cancel Routes and Extracurricular Activities

LAKE PARK (KDLM) – The Lake Park Audubon School District says they’re in drastic need of bus drivers.

Lake Park Audubon has had to cancel routes and extracurricular activities due to lack of bus drivers multiple times this year. “When our bus drivers are ill, we have no substitute drivers to cover for them,” said the District.

The District is asking parents and the general public to help fill the gap, “You can drive morning route, afternoon route, or both. You can drive for extracurricular activities or be a substitute driver. We need them all.”

The District says they’ll pay for training and licensure. The starting wage is $27 per hour with a $1,000 sign on bonus.
