(MNN)-Minnesota school districts are dealing with a growing shortage of school bus drivers. Kathryn Forbord, president of the Minnesota School Bus Operators Association, says the job can be a rewarding career with flexible hours, from standard morning and afternoon routes to midday and after-school trips. She says some people may feel intimidated by driving a large bus, but districts provide full training and guide new drivers through the entire process. Forbord adds that shifting family schedules, including more parents working from home, can make driving a viable option, and some companies even allow drivers to bring their children along. Anyone interested is encouraged to contact their local school district.
