BR bus drivers mad over possible plan to change routes start times for some students

According to France, leaders floated the idea of staggering school start times. She said the proposal would have some schools starting as early as 7 a.m., to as late as 9 a.m.
This would also mean drivers would have more routes to ensure every child has a ride until the system can fill more than a hundred bus driver vacancies.
Superintendent Dr. Sito Narcisse said last Friday this is an idea they might have to explore.
“They’re going to lose a lot of bus drivers. They don’t have none now, they’re definitely not going to have any if they go to three-tier,” said Rochelle Dunn, a 25-year veteran bus driver.
“How about you all get on one of these hot buses, do a bus route for a whole week. Not a day, not two days, a whole week like we do, and you can see how it feels to be on a hot bus,” said Stacey Willis.

It is my understanding that his proposed plan is to have high schools in EBR to run from 7 to 2:30, middle schools from 8 to 3:30 and elementary schools to run from 9 to 4:30.
This is of course without consulting with bus drivers, teachers, administrators, parents, or anyone else...

What the actual F?
School start times have been happening in Houston for decades.
Oh, wait, Louisiana is behind. Shooooocking.

No. They want to be paid full-time for a part time job

1) do you think the plan you detailed is a poor plan based on the current situation ?
2) can you propose a better plan ?
3) would you “consult” with the bus driver lady in the article ?
4) Are you a parent of affected ebr school kid(s) ?
Honest answers only.
Thanks for your time.

If covid never happened, this would not be an issue.

There's a shortage everywhere. If you don't like it, go work for Ascension, WBR, Feliciana, Livingston, Zachary/Baker, or Central.

I thought he canceled school for a day specifically to discuss this with all groups mentioned.

The issue for the drivers is that they were told "no raise, but since we, the board, screwed up, you get to drive another two routes per day."

If high schools start at 7 - there will be even more drop outs.
Get rid of school choice and all this magnet crap.
Put all magnets at BRMHS and Liberty.

No shite, elementary schools eat lunch and get on buses 3 hours before junior high kids. So, why does LA still have issues with bus staff?

My kids are all graduated from college .. what do y’all mean by start times? Are y’all saying staggered starts?
