FRAMINGHAM, Mass — It's an annual problem that preceded the pandemic -- but only got worse after Covid: a nationwide shortage of school bus drivers. 'It's not as bad as it has been in previous years,' said Tom Hamilton, executive director of the School Transportation Association of Massachusetts, which represents 45 bus companies. 'Most of the (bus company) owners have taken a year-long approach to it.' And yet, three weeks before a new academic year begins, some communities in Massachusetts are scrambling to find drivers.
