Superintendent Drives School bus because school doesn’t have enough bus drivers

Jeremy Burmeister, the superintendent of Platte Valley RE-7 School District, stepped in to fill the role

The man who stepped up in Kersey, Colorado, was the head of the school district. Dr. Jeremy Burmeister is Platte Valley RE-7 School District Superintendent. Before he goes to work, he takes the kids to school on the school bus. He would arrive at each stop wearing his coat and tie for work, which is unusual for a bus driver.

When Dr. Burmeister stepped up, it gave other faculty members, such as principals, teachers, and staff, the confidence to do the same. Dr. Burmeister explained his logic “I think it’s important for me, in my position – right, wrong, or indifferent – to lead by example A different purpose.”

Full-time Superintendent, part-time bus driver

He starts his day with the usual safety checks and then picks up the students. This was his solution to the lack of bus drivers. Dr. Burmeister wanted to do this for two reasons, one of which was the country’s severe shortage of school bus drivers. As district superintendent, he had to do something to fill the gap. This made other school principals, teachers, and staff more likely to follow suit.
