Episode description
Statewide, Oklahoma public schools are experiencing a shortage of bus drivers — and they’re struggling to adapt.
StateImpact analyzed every public school district in Oklahoma and found that of the 400-plus schools with hiring listings accessible on their websites or that answered a superintendent survey, over 40% showed open driver positions. About a quarter of the 80 surveyed superintendents said they or other school administrators drive a bus.
