RSU 21 seeks more bus drivers to avoid route disruptions
KENNEBUNK, Maine — During the past school year, 25 people drove buses throughout the streets of RSU 21 towns, picking up children at their stops, taking them to school, and bringing them home in the afternoon. Everyone worked hard and got the job done, even while making sacrifices and juggling challenges, according to RSU 21 transportation director Chris Pasciuto.
