Lee County schools open August 10. In the first part of a two-part interview, Dr. Christopher Bernier, who took over as superintendent last spring, discusses openings for teachers, getting school scores up, and why you might want to become a Lee County Schools bus driver.
To hear the conversation, click the blue "listen" oval above.
The app for tracking the bus Dr. Bernier refers to can be found here: https://wheresthebus.com/
Here's a video on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xGq77HZLd8&t=2s
But be forewarned that the app only helps if your child is on their assigned bus. If your child's route does not have an assigned driver (which many of them won't), the app will probably not give you the information you want. So if you are frustrated by the problems the driver shortage is creating for your family, the app may only serve to frustrate you more.
