Lack of bus drivers has Basin districts looking for solutions
MOSES LAKE — A lack of qualified drivers forced a short-term cancellation of bus routes in one local school district; other local districts have been forced to come up with what some school officials called creative solutions to meet student transportation needs. The Moses Lake School District canceled bus routes a couple days last week due to a lack of qualified bus drivers. Claren McLaughlin, MLSD marketing and public relations specialist said canceling routes, at least for now, was a short-term phenomenon.
