There are not enough qualified drivers willing to work for the school system for what the system is willing and able to pay. This is the reality. This means those we have will have to do more which will take more time. If you raised the pay to $20/hour tomorrow, I still doubt you would have enough come August 11. Nor does it matter because that WILL not happen. It's funny that some think we just need to let the right official know. Maybe Governor DeSantis will call out the national guard? Deputies retasked to drive? That should be interesting. See how many seeking refuge in this country have CDL Class B with School endorsement? David for better realities When in trouble

I get that is expensive and not everyone can afford it. There are programs that have access to grants to help with cost. The other solution would be to get with another parent who can drop off in the morning maybe they work later. There is also the bus which picks up a lot earlier than school starts. There is a way to manage the madness involved. First way which another commenter stated is contact the school they may have a workable option for you.

Most school have early drop. We got a call from our school and we can drop off kids starting at 7:15 rather than 7:00. So yes some adjustments will need to be made. Call your school before jumping to conclusions that it will not work or your owed free childcare. What do you do with them in the afternoon? @ J….. 7:50 is the school start time which is only 5 minutes later than the normal start time for most elementary schools last year.

They work for another company. So the district doesn't pay them. Santa Rosa County School Bus Drivers don’t work for the county they are contracted. They work for another company.

Good excuse to send kids to bed early. Plenty of them could use the sleep instead of watching videos till midnight. @DP our school had a 7:20 start time anyways 10 minutes earlier is not going to make that much difference seems by the car line snaking out the parking lot the parents will be just fine with an earlier start time.

We as parents cant adjust our schedules to accommodate the school boards. This isn't fair to the children that have to be up and at school before any other elementary. Yall need to figure this out becuase children need the right amount of sleep to get the a great education. My kids will not be going to school at 710 when other elementary schools get to start 40 minutes later. This is ridiculous. Seems like if you live in the easthill community yoir taken care of. Great job escmabia County. When my kids starts failing befuase they are tired everyday you deal with the problem and kids won't focus. I'm going to reach out to Ron DeSantis with this info becuase all kids in elementary school shouldn't have the right to start earlier than others. This is getting ridiculous.
