A new law will allow school board members in Wisconsin to drive school buses.
Governor Evers signed the law last week. It eliminates a part of Wisconsin’s school board law that stopped school board members from holding second jobs with the school district. School board members can now volunteer to drive a bus, they cannot be paid. About half of Wisconsin’ school districts say they are in need of bus drivers, though it’s not clear just how many school board members will now take advantage of the new law.
