A mass resignation of bus drivers refusing to abide by a COVID-19 vaccination mandate has led to a scramble for Chicago schools.
A mass resignation of Chicago Public Schools bus drivers refusing to abide by a coronavirus vaccination mandate led to a citywide scramble to find transportation for thousands of students on Monday as school started.
Chicago Public Schools mandated coronavirus vaccines for all employees and contractors, and more than 73 drivers resigned after refusing to abide by the mandate.
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, about 2,100 students — including 990 kids in special education — were given barely two days’ notice that their bus route would not be available for the first day of school. Their parents, needless to say, were not pleased.
Chiacgo Mayor Lori Lightfoot is currently in talks with various rideshare companies, including Uber and Lyft, to transport students to school.
