(Atlantic) Atlantic Schools Superintendent Steve Barber says school transportation continues to challenge the district. Barber says they are searching for people to obtain bus driving licenses., particularly for those days when there is a lot of demand for transportation. “We’re having conversations on how to get more drivers to meet our transportation needs,” said Barber. “The last thing we want to do is tell people no. We’re getting to a point when it’s’ getting critical.”
Barber says in February, the Federal Government added additional requirements to obtain a school bus license. He says it’ is a challenge getting people to obtain a bus license before the change in conditions, and it will be more challenging to find new drivers.
