Seattle Public Schools weighs changes to regular school hours
Seattle Public Schools is weighing a decision to change regular school hours.
In a letter sent to parents Thursday, the district said the proposed changes would help solve transportation issues related to its shortage of school bus drivers.
“We know that school leaders and families would like safe, reliable, and on-time transportation service without school schedule changes,” the district said on its website. “Unfortunately, because of the ongoing bus driver shortage, it isn’t possible to provide both of those things for everyone in the district.”
The district, which has already suspended 50 bus routes, anticipates the driver shortage to persist through next year.
