We were obviously one small school, but we had the same guy, Mr. Heck, drive the bus for football. We also had other assistants drive the two small vans to the games. Mr. Schneider would've never allowed for us to not be able to get to our games. That's one school. For a school system the size of JCPS I'd imagine bussing logistics would be almost a 24/7 job for the superintendent. They are HC of the school district, they need to make sure all I's are dotted. Terrible for all the kids not just the athletes.

Public school districts have transportation directors so in reality the superintendent just oversees that person or persons.

This is from Fox19.com and gives us a little perspective on the free transportation that was offered to JCPS:

UPS said its average full-time driver is expected to make about $170,000 a year in pay and benefits.

I don’t follow how drivers pay under the new CBA provides perspective into what was offered?

If we are to believe what is in this thread UPS is offering JCPS free transportation using 170K a year employees.  I did some quick math so I could be wrong but that comes out to about $80 an hour. I think it is some perspective, even if it is a small amount.

Me too CW. ?‍♀️

UPS drivers work their entire rear end off… But if you stick it out, it is absolutely worth it financially.

I agree and I know some of them.  They are all super hard working and from what I can see financially set.

My father in law retired 3 years ago as the second-most-senior UPS driver in the state of Kentucky. Over 40 years as a full-time driver (and the busted up knees, ankles, and hips to show for it...plus he has about 30% hearing loss from sitting in a big metal box and listening to a diesel engine droning for over 40 years). Don't make any mistake, UPS offered top notch health insurance and they paid well, but unless UPS was offering their drivers over six figures worth of benefits, annually, there is absolutely zero chance that that "$170,000 a year in pay and benefits" statement is anywhere near accurate.

I guess they are getting a raise.

And along the lines of what you said, the guys I know are generally speaking pretty beastly but I can tell the job has been hard on them.

I was so unimpressed with him over COVID and this is just more of the same.

Clown show.

The solution to a bus driver shortage is to pay more than $21/hr, not implement NINE different school start times. 

Part two of that solution is for people to get control of their kids.
