IPS District Buses Are Running Monday

Indianapolis Public School announced that all district buses are running on their normal route today, March 2. There may be potential delays due to some driver call offs.

More than 70 drivers called in sick Friday in an apparent labor protest. The driver’s union stated they did not support the response. Last month the IPS School Board approved a new contract to outsource all transportation to the company First Student. All drivers have to reapply for their jobs.
