School Bus Delays and Cancellations Due to Bus Driver Shortage

Pittsford Schools continues to be impacted by a shortage of bus drivers. We ask for your support and partnership as the daily plans for morning and afternoon runs are in constant flux due to medical leaves, illness, planned absences and jury duty. We anticipate that bus driver availability may become even more limited during the winter months and flu season, compounding an already difficult situation. Families may feel the impact of this in delayed/canceled bus runs to and from school, as well as the cancellation of extra-curricular and athletic bus runs.
