School districts in the Milwaukee metro area have been no stranger to busing woes. This year, however, some local busing companies and school districts say there is no need for concern. During the 2023-24 academic year, the Waukesha School District experienced bus route cancellations as a result of driver shortages that led to students arriving well after the school day started. Going into the 2025-26 year, the district said it is working to learn from previous struggles.
