Michigan school bus driver shortages hit after-school sports

Original: After-school sports take a back seat as Michigan school bus driver shortages persist

School districts across Michigan are struggling to keep bus drivers on the job, and the shortage is now affecting more than just daily commutes. After-school sports programs are being scaled back or delayed because there are not enough drivers to take teams to away games and events. Administrators say recruiting and retaining drivers remains difficult despite efforts to raise pay and offer bonuses.

Why now: The driver shortage is disrupting students' extracurricular activities, drawing attention to a widening staffing problem in Michigan schools.
