Indian River bus driver update

 The Indian River School District is still dealing with a bus driver shortage, and Superintendent Mark Steele held a Facebook live event to inform parents of the latest.

The district began rearranging routes Wednesday, with four drivers now picking up two loads of kids.

Steele says he hasn't heard any complaints yet, but admits that the schedule change does have an effect on students.

To help with those changes the district is looking into possible solutions, such as district-operated bus routes, and a three-tier system that is used in northern Delaware districts.

A three-tier system means middle school and high school routes would be broken up.

"We are looking for drivers.  If anybody out there knows anybody who is a potential driver, and you're looking for a job please come forward.  It'll give you some good money in your pocket, and at the same time it would be a tremendous help to us and our kids."
