Bus driver shortage at MLSD
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake School District announced a driver shortage Friday, which will impact morning and afternoon bus routes. The MLSD transportation department will notify parents by 5:30 a.m. each morning if the route is canceled for the day. “Bus driver shortages are not unique to this school year or unique to Moses Lake,” MLSD Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Claren McLaughlin said. “It is a nationwide issue.” McLaughlin said that if a morning route is canceled, the afternoon route is also canceled. The MLSD said in its statement that special education bus routes will not be impacted. The canceled routes will also be posted on the Moses Lake School District website.
