In this episode we discuss the Rochester City School District's 9/3/2021 announcement that high school students may start the school year virtually because a bus driver shortage is causing school transportation jobs to go unfilled. The RCSD is not the only school district facing a bus driver shortage: district's across the country are short bus drivers, causing transportation disruptions to the start of the new school year.
We explore what's possibly causing the bus driver shortage, critique the standard of the 40 hour work week, and urge for the RCSD's systemic problems, such as poverty and segregation, to be resolved.
Thanks for joining us.
