With 26 million bus-riding students, districts are taking extra precautions to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends students wear face coverings and sit one child per row while skipping rows whenever possible.
"One of the largest things that's being done is the changing of bell times that will enable school buses to run multiple routes during the day to get students to and from school safely," said Steven Simmons, president of the NAPT. "If they have the ability to transport their children to school, we'd ask them to do so," said Chris Piper, superintendent of Troy City Schools in Ohio.
The Department of Education said this model could allow groups of kids who live nearby get to school safely by way of an adult chaperone who would pick up children along the way., it's about lowering the risk as much as possible.
