Fairfax County district needs bus drivers

Hiring enough bus drivers in the Fairfax County (Va.) district is difficult and likely to get harder. As of mid-August, the district had 1,140 drivers but still needed about 50. Filling the vacancy will become even more of a challenge if the district follows through on plans to start the high school day later so that teenagers--who sometimes board buses at 6:30 a.m.--can get more sleep. Such a shift would require an overhaul of a transportation system that already is stretched.
