The state of Massachusetts (MA) – like many other states nationwide – are having to deal with a labor shortage. MA in particular is dealing with a shortage of school staff and bus drivers.
In order to alleviate the issue, the MA National Guard has been activated to serve as temporary bus drivers.
Announced on September 13th, 250 servicemen and women will available for cities and towns who may need added help.
According to CBS Boston, the troops will drive school transport vans known as 7D vehicles.
Once it became pretty clear that there were going to be some communities shorthanded — it wasn’t going to be a vehicle issue, it was going to be people with CDLs — we started talking to the Guard.
There are a bunch of communities who have said they’re interested in this and we’re glad to be able to help because it’s important.
Governor Charlie Baker
Beginning on the following day after the public announcement, 90 members will be sent to the towns of Chelsea, Lawrence, Lowell, and Lynn.
It’s like we’ve worked so hard to get our kids finally to a place where they can come to school, now we’ve got to get them to school and on time. We want our kids in school so they can learn.
We are grateful and thankful that somebody was definitely thinking out of the box. When I got the call, I was like ‘oh, that’s an interesting solution, yes, OK!’
Chelsea School Superintendent Almi Abeyta
The stationed members will need to receive and complete the proper training. The governor explained that the state will reimburse the schools’ funding to pay for the costs.
‘The state said the assignment won’t interfere with the Guard’s ability to respond to emergencies,’ the CBS report concludes.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I am mentioning this because I believe this is a sign of what is to come down the pike. With more staff calling it quits, and many more that die-off due to the death shot effects, who do you think will come in to “protect the safety of our children?”
The children who go to a public school are children of the state. If you are a parent and you hand your child off to them, you have just given them, the school and state, every legal right to do what they want at their discretion. Look into it if you don’t believe me. So right now it’s in the bus driver phase where most people will not think much of it; but then it evolves to staff, then teachers…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

This is eerie. People don’t think much of it as it’s just bus drivers, but that’s where it starts: where people don’t see much of a threat when the threat is clear and physically in our faces. First bus drivers, custodians, lunch servers, maintenance workers and landscapers, and of course school police (MP replacing that department) then it’ll be teachers coaches included, nurses, and counselors, then there’ll be a major being their principal.
America better fall on their knees and REPENT and I say this to myself as well even! I don’t care what those politicized pulpit slammers like John Hagee and Donnie swaggart say, they’re charlatans who worship America more than they do Jesus, they worship an American Jesus and preach an American Gospel and it’s a jesus and gospel that is completely foreign to the ones in the King James Bible, God’s true word! They’re in for a nasty surprise!
They should have the National Guard unload all those shipping containers piling up off the coast of California…. so I can order mo stuff from AmeeZon ;}
