A crippling bus driver shortage has left far too many Chicago Public Schools families on their own this year in getting children to school — and sadly, there seems to be no quick or easy solution.
You may not have read or heard a lot about the problem, amid all the headlines about war, government dysfunction, the city’s migrant crisis and other pressing news. But the shortage impacts thousands of students — and by extension, their moms and dads and family members, who in many cases have been forced to take time off from work and spend extra cash to make sure their child gets to school on time.
