Parents in Iredell County are scrambling to find transportation to and from school just days before the new school year begins. This is specifically the case for parents of students at Lake Norman High School, who were informed Thursday night students won’t have bus service come Monday. It all comes down to not having enough school bus drivers. It’s a problem in several districts, but at Lake Norman High School, it’s so bad the district sent parents an email Thursday night. That email said several bus routes will not be operating until further notice because of a shortage of bus drivers. This will impact morning routes for buses 63, 91, and 375, as well as afternoon routes for all of those buses, including bus 62 and bus 394. The morning bus route for bus 31 will now be bus 98 and will run 30 minutes later. PHOTO credit: Dan Dennis, Unsplash
