Plumas Unified School District issued the following announcement.
We want to share an important update regarding bus transportation within Plumas Unified School District.
At this time, PUSD finds itself in a critical situation. For several months, the District has been forced to cancel bus routes due to an ongoing shortage of bus drivers. Unfortunately, this situation has continued to worsen. We are currently without a transportation supervisor or mechanics and continue to experience a significant bus driver shortage. As a result, the District will be unable to consistently meet required safety and compliance obligations under state and federal transportation laws.
We understand how concerning and disruptive this is for our students, families, and staff. Please know that we are working closely with our transportation team and district leadership to determine our next steps and explore all available options.
Our immediate priority is to maintain transportation services for our legally required programs. We hope to preserve at least one bus route per community, if staffing allows. We are doing everything possible to stabilize transportation services and will continue to communicate updates as plans develop.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we navigate this difficult situation together. Please expect further communication the week of December 29, 2025.
Sincerely,
Plumas Unified School District
