Cancellation of two school bus routes this morning resulted from the drivers potentially being exposed to COVID-19. The drivers are no self-isolating.
Sudbury Student Services Consortium announced the cancellations this morning citing a driver shortage. Once contacted by Sudbury.com, the consortium clarified that the shortage was as a result of the possible exposure that forced the drivers to isolate.
The announcement of a driver shortage caused confusion because parents with Rainbow District School Board were reporting that the board stated the cancellations were related to the possible exposure to COVID-19 on two bus routes linked to Lansdowne Public School, which turned out to be the case.
