School bus driver shortage hits Quincy, National Guard to drive buses.

Several weeks into a new in-classroom school year, Quincy Public Schools District has had to draft Massachusetts National Guard members to fill vacant bus driver seats given a shortage of people willing to drive school buses at this stage of the long ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

While there has been no word if the targeted date for seeing troops filling the void was meet, one can only reasonably assume that the behavior of students on buses driven by troops will be well-disciplined.
