School Buses Unlikely to Run in Renfrew County When Classes Resume

  Renfrew County is facing significant transportation challenges as the start of the new school year approaches. It has been announced that school buses are unlikely to be in operation when classes resume. This situation is primarily due to ongoing issues with driver shortages, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic and other factors.

The lack of available bus drivers is not a new problem in the region, but it has reached a critical point where the school district cannot guarantee regular bus services for students. Parents and guardians have been advised to seek alternative transportation methods for their children as the district works to find a solution.

The school board is actively recruiting new drivers and exploring potential solutions, including adjusting routes and schedules to make the most of the limited resources available. However, until these measures are in place, the uncertainty surrounding school transportation remains a significant concern for families in Renfrew County.
