(AP) There are at least 10 COVID-19 outbreaks in Maine schools but that’s not the only problem: There’s a shortage of bus drivers.
The superintendent of RSU 4 in Sabattus, Litchfield and Wales announced Wednesday that there will be no bus runs until Tuesday, and two buses serving Oxford Elementary School were canceled on Thursday and Friday, WMTW-TV reported.
RSU 4 Superintendent Andrew Carlton said in a letter to parents it’s better to have a hodgepodge of transportation provided by parents than going to a remote-learning model.
“While I know none of this is ideal and there will be some that cannot get their children to school, I did not want to close our doors as remote learning is not the most ideal option if we can avoid it,” he wrote.
