Jefferson County Public Schools held a hiring blitz Friday, the latest attempt to bolster the district's roster of bus drivers.

The state's largest school district said around 1,000 magnet and traditional school students had their bus stops reinstated. 

Stops will be assigned later this month, with routes expected to be restored March 17.

The district said TARC drivers are continuing to test and get certifications to drive the school buses.

The federal civil rights lawsuit filed in June argues the district's decision to cut transportation for thousands of magnet and traditional students violates students' civil rights.

A vote on restoring routes is not expected at Tuesday's meeting, as the recommended motion is to, "receive an update regarding the current state of Transportation within Jefferson County Public Schools."

Nearly 100,000 students returned to class Thursday morning as the district put their new transportation plan to the test, parents waiting anxiously to see what time their children would get home. 

Nerves are running high for parents across Louisville as students prepare to head back to the classroom.

Leaders have been working all summer long to make changes after some students arrived home as late as 10 p.m. on the first day of school in August 2023, prompting school to be canceled for two days to resolve the issues.
