Robert Dillon, district superintendent for Nassau BOCES, says parents of just under 100 students in areas including Seaford, Jericho, Hicksville, and Wantagh have been left scrambling by the shortage.

Drivers working to get their licenses are offered several thousand dollars in incentives and will be assigned as soon as they’re certified.
According to Muirhead, 80 of the private bus contractors he works with throughout the state are all experiencing some sort of shortage. Muirhead told FOX 5 NY that some drivers have retired while others have chosen to go to other companies like Amazon.
