Bus driver shortage delays school for most Springfield students

The delay does not affect students transported to non-public schools; however, those students will be delayed returning home Thursday by about 30 minutes.

Students affected by the two-hour delay will be allowed inside their school buildings 30 minutes before the delayed start of the school day. Breakfast will not be served, the district said.

Also, students riding the bus home from school Thursday should expect their return trip to be delayed by 30 minutes.
