UPDATE: All Brookfield School Bus Routes Will Be Covered Monday

BROOKFIELD, CT — Superintendent John Barile sent an email to parents Monday morning, notifying them that all bus routes will be covered.

Bus company company All Star Transportation "will be a few drivers short," and some of the busses may run late, Barile said.

Barile sent an email to parents Sunday warning them of of a possible disruption of bus services for students.

"As you have likely heard via recent news, some 300 bus drivers across Connecticut may not meet the Governor’s Executive Order 13G regarding vaccination compliance, which could further exacerbate the driver shortage, in turn, impacting transportation services for many districts on Monday, September 27th," Barile said.

The superintendent said that the district has been working with company All Star Transportation to monitor what impact, if any, Lamont's vaccination mandate would have on driver staffing and the existing routes. The majority of All Star's drivers have already complied with the governor’s executive order in advance of Monday’s deadline, according to Barile. Bus drivers have submitted information required to demonstrate vaccination compliance to All Star, or have arranged to complete weekly COVID-19 testing prior to the deadline.
