Lee County needs 69 more school bus drivers soon

After losing dozens of bus drivers, Lee County schools are in desperate need to fill 69 bus driver positions in three weeks. If they don’t, Southwest Florida’s largest county will be short to start the school year.

Roger Lloyd is the Executive Director of Transportation. Lloyd didn’t hold a news conference, he made a public plea for help.

“The reality is, we’re going to be late logistically,” Lloyd said. “We do not have the bus drivers to get those kids to and from school on time.”

Lee County schools admit they don’t have enough drivers to get kids to and from school on time. The district said they need at least 69 more bus drivers as of Wednesday. Although, it is likely they need way more than that.
