February 27 2024- St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) faced disruptions in bus services as drivers from Missouri Central Bus Company staged a walk-out in protest. The internal strife at the bus company, which included a racial component, led to a significant number of drivers calling in sick, affecting about a quarter of SLPS bus routes. As a result, the district had to cancel after-school activities, inconveniencing parents who had to make alternative arrangements to pick up their children. SLPS expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and assured parents that they are in constant communication with Missouri Central, urging them to address the internal issues promptly. The district advised parents to stay informed about the situation and make arrangements for transportation until the matter is resolved.
