By email, Shelley Garrett, the district's assistant superintendent of safety and operations, explained that the bus driver shortage has created"open routes that must be filled by others, and our great team has come together to make sure the students get to and from school in a safe manner, albeit delayed."
Hoping to hire more bus drivers, Garland ISD is offering"an incentive of $500 if someone would like to apply to be a bus driver or monitor," Garrett added.
