Students in the Pine Bush School District returned to the classroom today with new bus schedules.

Thousands of students spent two school days at home due to an ongoing bus driver shortage.

The district is offering incentives for employees to get a CDL license and drive the buses.

State officials say the DMV will lower the wait time for commercial driver’s license road tests from weeks to days.

The Pine Bush Board of Education was also holding a meeting at the high school Tuesday where school officials and parents were expected to further discuss the bus issue and ways to resolve it.
