Ware County Schools Close Due to Driver Shortage

In Seattle, several school districts, including Issaquah, Renton, and Bellevue, will keep schools closed due to persistent power outages and debris from recent windstorms, with some districts implementing delays to navigate damaged roads. Meanwhile, Ware County in Georgia announced all schools will close on Friday due to the logistical challenge of transporting their high school football team to a regional playoff game amidst a severe bus driver shortage, further compounded by recent hurricane-related closures. This decision, aimed at ensuring student safety and supporting the football team, has faced criticism from parents affected by the impact of school closures.
