School bus driver shortages is an issue affecting many school districts. Elida is no different and is facing some possible drastic changes to transportation this coming school year if the staffing needs aren't met within the next couple of weeks.
Elida Transportation is currently hiring multiple full-time positions. At minimum, four (4) new drivers are needed to keep our current level of service. There is also a need for substitute drivers.
Elida Superintendent Joel Mengerink addressed the shortage at the May and June Board of Education meetings, stating that if positions aren't filled, the board will have to consider some major changes. Read more below.
