Districts are consolidating routes, including having kindergartners and high schoolers ride together. In some areas, parents have resorted to driving their kids themselves.

“I wouldn’t want my third grader sitting next to a high school junior on the bus,” said Brown.

The disparity in pay rates across districts only makes things worse.
