MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There is a national shortage of school bus drivers, but Memphis-Shelby County Schools said they don't expect that to affect getting their students to school on time. 

MSCS told ABC24 they expect to have enough drivers to take all of their eligible students to school, and will be adjusting some routes to make sure all students are covered.
