Nearly 40 school buses were unavailable in the Triad school district on Monday due to a walkout by bus drivers, affecting over 40 schools. Deputy Superintendent Fabby Williams addressed the situation, noting that 36 drivers called out, impacting 126 bus routes. The walkout was driven by concerns over safety and pay. Drivers expressed frustration over the financial strain of the job, with some struggling to afford basic needs like food and gas. Additionally, there were reports of bus drivers facing physical, verbal, and mental abuse, which further fueled the protest.
