Manchester School District Faces Bus Shortage Weeks Before School Starts

With only three weeks left until the start of the school year, the Manchester School District says it needs more buses.

While day-to-day pick-up and drop-off will not be affected, committee members believe the shortage should have been addressed earlier.

The district needs to buy up to 10 used school buses after learning that the Manchester Transit Authority had been providing buses for athletic charters and other extracurricular activities.

The district hopes to have a finalized purchase plan for the school board’s approval at its September 9th meeting, which is open to the public.
