Amador County’s School Transportation Department is short staffed, again. Transportation Director Andy Peters is driving everyday, along with other Administrative staff, which is encroaching on Peters’ ability to fulfill all facets of the Directors job. The district is however looking at some alternatives such as cutting and reducing some bus routes, looking at white van services, utilizing the youth bus operated by the Rancheria, providing gratis child care such as the after school program at the elementary school, and other ways to alleviate the growing problem.
