As the start of the school year approaches, local school districts are addressing varying levels of vacancies for school bus drivers. Greenville County Schools reports about 60 openings, an improvement from previous years, attributing the vacancies to normal turnover despite increased pay rates and retention bonuses. In Union County, there are only 2 vacancies out of nearly 30 buses, impacting student discipline and parental concerns about bus schedules. Other districts like Laurens District 56 and Greenwood District 52 have successfully filled all bus driver positions, while Pickens County still has 11 openings for nearly 120 positions.
