FRAMINGHAM - Framingham Public Schools continues to feel the brunt of bus driver shortages.
At the School Committee meeting on Wednesday, September 20, Executive Director of Finance and Operations Lincoln Lynch reported that NRT Bus Inc.—the company that the city is contracted with to provide transportation to and from schools—is still providing 57 drivers in Framingham. That’s 20 drivers short of what the mutual contract calls for, and it’s remained at that count for weeks.
As a result of the driver shortages, hundreds of Framingham families have been left without an assigned bus route to begin the school year.
Lynch added that the city and NRT are working together to try and solve the problems. In the meantime, school officials are attempting to draw up more efficient routes while registering more students for the buses that are running.

Rodriguez, who is on the ballot against Brent Lewis for the position, cited family-related matters in his decision to bow out.
The Framingham History Center recently hosted its annual haunted trolley tour. We were able to get a special look ourselves along the tour, as we learned about Framingham’s ghost history and the community’s connection to Halloween as we now know it.
Esta semana no The Frame: as obras de reforma do novo centro comunitário local continuam enquanto os moradores fornecem feedback e ideias por meio de uma pesquisa; candidatos locais participam de um fórum de discussão sobre sustentabilidade e meio ambiente; e uma análise do passeio anual de bonde assombrado do Centro Histórico de Framingham — além da conexão da comunidade com o Halloween como o conhecemos hoje.
