Aloha, the beginning of the school year is here, and while we are all excited about it, we also have a few hurdles to overcome. From what we are being told, the bus driver issue may be cured shortly, allowing us to have buses running soon; however, I would like to have plans in place for as many people as I can because we all can agree that school is critical.

In preparation for the start of school, the Student Transportation Services Branch (STSB) has temporarily suspended regular education school bus routes for the Ka‘ū-Kea‘au-Pāhoa Complex Area due to limited driver availability. The Hawaii State Department of Education is actively working with our vendor to remedy this issue as quickly as possible; however, restoration of services is a process.
