Durham Public Schools families on Friday evening received word that district schools may be closed once again on Monday.
Schools were closed Friday after administrators said bus mechanics called out from work, making it impossible to inspect and clear buses for transportation.
“The reason school was canceled today and may be canceled on Monday is the result of transportation staff absences,” said Crystal Roberts, director of strategic communications for DPS. “This does not include our bus drivers, but we cannot operate buses without mechanics and transportation supervisors. Since 75% of our students are bus riders, we are unable to hold school if our buses cannot operate.”
The district will notify families on Sunday if school is canceled.
