JCPS cancels more than 100 bus routes Monday after 143 drivers 'call-out'

JCPS released an updated list of the bus routes affected by bus drivers calling in sick Monday morning.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Public Schools are experiencing yet another shortage of drivers, this time to “call-outs”.

According to spokeswoman Carolyn Callahan, JCPS said about 143 drivers have called out of work for Monday morning.

The district said they usually see 40-45 “call-outs” Sunday evenings for Monday.

JCPS believes that number may likely grow in the morning and has confirmed the cancellation of 101 bus routes on Monday.

“These cancellations are spread throughout the district and mean JCPS does not have a way to get those students to school,” Callahan said in a statement.

JCPS said families were notified Sunday night and encouraged them to find alternative ways to get their children to school.

However, if your child has been affected by the “call-outs”, JCPS said absences will be excuses for students who have to miss school because of the amount of drivers expected to be out.

“Canceling bus routes is something other districts do frequently but is not something JCPS does. Typically, we delay routes, but with the increase in drivers not showing up for work, the safest and best option is to proactively cancel these routes. We apologize to our families, students and staff for this inconvenience,” Callahan added.
