Hundreds of students in Puyallup were forced to find another way to school Monday morning with several bus runs temporarily suspended due to a bus driver shortage.

Puyallup School District staff initially announced they would suspend 10% of bus runs. However, on Monday nearly half of the routes that the district had originally expected to be suspended were reinstated.

About 672 students out of the district's nearly 23,000 students were without bus service on Monday morning.

"Suspending bus routes is an incredible disruption and has very real consequences and we will continue to work around the clock to find solutions," said Sarah Gillispie, a spokesperson for the Puyallup School District.

1. I think this is where the national guard should step in

I’d bet they have enough guard members with appropriate licenses to drive the bus’ until other solutions are found.
