More Info: After a year of uncertainty for the Coeur d’Alene School District’s bus drivers, several have decided they won’t be climbing behind the steering wheels of the big yellow buses again when school starts in September. At this point, four drivers have officially resigned, and the district is seeking new employees to replace them. “It is a slightly higher number than we’ve seen in years past,” said school district spokeswoman Laura Rumpler. The turnover follows months spent by the board and district administration considering whether to privatize the district’s transportation department. It was believed the move could have potentially saved the district about $1 million.

Question: Can this be blamed on previous board? Or is it simply natural attrition?
