The Ottawa Elementary School District is asking help from parents to take their kids to and from school. Supt. Cleve Threadgill says in a Facebook message that the district is facing a severe bus driver shortage that could lead to long wait times for kids.
He says if parents can make arrangements, the district is requesting the parents to drop off and pick up kids through next week. He also says that this could help curb the current rise in COVID-19 cases in the district.
