Louisville Schools Close Due to Bus Routes 'Disaster'

Kentucky's biggest school system in Louisville canceled the 2nd and 3rd day of classes this week after thousands of kids and their families waited for hours for buses to arrive. Jefferson County Public Schools. Superintendent Marty Polio called the incident a transportation disaster that was caused by changes to bus routes and school start times. The district had hired alpha route engineering to plan the new routes but could not keep up with the changes due to a driver shortage. Schools were closed yesterday and today the school district is going to spend the next few days reviewing the bus routes and having drivers practice them before school is back on Monday.
