One day after police said a teen was stabbed by another student while riding a Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) bus the union representing bus drivers is calling on the district to hire more drivers.
Teamsters 783 President John Stovall said right now, JCPS is short roughly 225 drivers and the shortage is taking a toll.
"We have some of the best bus drivers in the country, accidents alone prove that," Stovall said. "But it is hard to be a bus driver, a bus monitor and a security authority on the school bus. You can't do all three jobs and be great at it."
