Candidates were asked how they would approach the bus driver shortage issue as a trustee
This week the Prince George Citizen will be posting series of questions asked of the 13 candidates running as trustees for School District No. 57 .
Cory Antrim I would have to look at the contract that was signed by SD57 before I could comment further on a solution. However, I am disappointed that our district signed a contract with a non-Canadian company. I would like to know the rationale behind why an out-of-country business was chosen. So, at this point, I have more questions than answers.
Craig Brennan When first awarded a $5 million bussing contract, First Student assured us of safe, reliable and comfortable transportation for our 3500 bus students. They would deliver students to and from school using a new fleet and the latest technology. First Student has struggled to meet their obligation to SD57.
Shar McCrory We need to advocate for students on all levels. We need to work with district staff to ensure this does not happen in the future. First Student is a contractor who works with our transportation department. At a recent Advisory Committee, the SD57 staff reported on the current bussing issues and what they were doing to mitigate the issues.
