Fewer students riding area school buses

Now that schools are open, districts have had to adjust to new rules, schedules and finding ways to socially distance their sometimes hyperactive young charges while transporting them to and from buildings.

Youngstown, at least for the first nine weeks, eliminated busing issues because the district chose to go fully online.

But the city district still transports 542 students to other, non-public schools that have children living within the Youngstown City School District area. The number of students to and from these schools may change, however, based on their enrollments.

Other area districts, such as Niles and Warren, are operating blended or hybrid systems in which half of their students attend school in their buildings two days a week and a second group attends school on alternate days.

The alternative schedules crafted during this COVID-19 pandemic have helped to reduce the number of students on the buses at any one time.
