Knox County Schools are still dealing with a bus driver shortage.

While every child still has a ride to school and is not missing any instructional time some obviously are going to come a little bit earlier since those buses are doubling up.

The driver shortage has been impacting schools in East Tennessee for years but Ryan Dillingham, the director of transportation with Knox County schools tells our news partner WVLT that they’re working to hire more drivers.

KCS also has an app that allows parents to track the bus stop and sends alerts when the bus is 5 minutes away.
