Bemidji Independent School District 31 is in need of bus drivers!  We have been able to operate regular routes and some activity trips by using office staff, mechanics, and supervisors of Transportation services as emergency drivers. Even with all these added personnel, we remain desperately short of drivers each day.  Without additional trained drivers, we may be forced to implement reductions in transportation services that could result in the following:

  • Field trips or activities/athletics trips being canceled.
  • Regular routes could be combined, making longer rides for students.
  • Regular routes could be delayed or canceled.

Please help spread the word!
