Officials apologised to the district's 96,000 students along with their families, the bus drivers and the school officials who had to stay with students for hours as they waited for buses to arrive on Wednesday
Students get onto buses at the end of their first day of class on 9 August. Pic: APKentucky's largest school district has cancelled the second and third day of classes after a disastrous overhaul of its transportation system left some children on buses until 10pm.
Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Marty Pollio called it a"transportation disaster" in a video posted on social media Thursday morning. Mr Polio apologised to the district's 96,000 students along with their families, the bus drivers and the school officials who had to stay with students for hours as they waited for buses to arrive on Wednesday.
He called the decision to close schools on Thursday and Friday the most difficult of his career, but said it was necessary. District officials will spend the four days before Monday reviewing the routes and having drivers practice them, he said.The disaster came after major changes to school bus routes and school start times this year meant to alleviate a bus driver shortage, the Courier Journal reported.
