Fairfax County, Virginia runs the state’s largest public school system. Students have begun the fall semester as they finished the spring: online. One might expect that the school buses used to transport students would be idled because of this.
Not so. The district is running some buses on ghost routes, or having them deliver meals and supplies to avoid laying off drivers and attendants:
In some places, drivers have been tasked with delivering school meals to families. In others, they are distributing technology and devices. Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia, however, has another solution — send bus drivers out to drive their old routes in empty buses, picking up no one and delivering nothing, to justify their continuation on the payroll.
Starting Monday, “all drivers and attendant[s] will be required to run their routes twice a week to sharpen your driving skills,” reads an email Wednesday from an administrator to a team of drivers at a Fairfax County high school. “If you are unable to perform this task . . . you must put in for leave.”
The email, obtained by The Washington Post, says this kind of route-running will continue “until we go back to school.”
Not wanting to lay off workers is one thing. Having them run empty buses merely to “sharpen” their driving skills is a waste of their time and the taxpayers’ money.

The school system I have learned is a powerhouse of it’s own and they do as they please. Tried to attend the school board meeting years ago when my kids were young. If you start to say anything they don’t like they cut you off and if you don’t get off the stage they call security. Almost half the school taxes goes to administration instead the the teaches here in Arizona and bet it is the same or worse in other states. Yet year after year they cry for more and more.
Ice should definitely go to all public schools & all corporations and check citizenship of owners & employees cause we the people have been scam for too long. Illegal aliens do not deserve our tax dollars don’t matter where they snuck into America from they must be deported.
