HUBER HEIGHTS — UPDATE @ 8:40 p.m.:
Dozens of bus routes were impacted Friday afternoon after a local school district experienced a bus driver shortage.
Huber Heights City Schools said that several of their drivers came down with an illness and had to call off, resulting in a shortage.
Around 30 routes were impacted, a spokesperson for the district said.
HHCS said they are nearly fully staffed and have three full-time substitute drivers.
Currently, six drivers are on extended medical leave.
This does not usually impact bus routes unless there is an unexpected shortage like the one experienced Friday, the district said.
