Susquehanna Township SD asking parents to provide transportation for students

Susquehanna Township School District requested parents to transport students to Thomas Holtzman Jr. Elementary and Sara Lindemuth/Anna Carter Primary Schools due to a shortage of bus drivers. This decision followed the early closure of the schools on Tuesday morning. The district plans to keep the schools open on Wednesday and aims to minimize delays from combined bus routes. Parents should anticipate some delays as the district addresses the transportation challenges.

The district emphasized that this arrangement is temporary and necessary to ensure students can attend school. The shortage of bus drivers has been a growing concern nationwide, impacting many school districts. As a result, local families are stepping in to provide essential transportation. The district's proactive communication aims to alleviate concerns and maintain student attendance.
