Warren County may tind it >elf unable to operate Its school next month If a new ?"air Labor Standards Act imendment is placed into ef ect on a scheduled Feb. 1 iate. The amendment, passed in 1966, forbids the employment )f persons under 18 years of ige in hazardous jobs. The prohibition extends to persons who drive school buses. J. Roger Peeler, superin :endent of Warren County schools, said yesterday that if :he U. S. Department of Labor does not grant North Carolina more time to comply or spec ial exemption then it would be impossible to acquire enough drivers for Warren County by Feb. 1. It would mean that many buses would have to be withdrawn from service, Peeler said. Peeler revealed that ap proximately 80 per cent of the student drivers are under 18 years of age. Seventy buses are operated in Warren Coun ty, with only three adult driv ers. Students who drive school buses are paid $30 a month. The salaries are appropriated from state funds, but it is the local admini^-ration's re sponsibility to find the driv ers. And this is the real rub as far as the new amend ment is concerned. Where will Warren County find the more than 50 persons 18 or over who will be willing to drive school buses for $30 a month? Peeler said that he thinks it is impossible to find these drivers in Warren County and that if no relief is given many school buses will have to be withdrawn from service. "We would ha,ve to resort to part-time workers, retired people, housewives, and what have you," Peeler said. "But we would run into competl tlon with such businesses as service stations and grocery stores where part-time work ers can make more money than they can make driving school buses." Perhaps the only means of making the school bus driving position more palatable to prospective drivers is to raise the monthly salary. Peeler said that the State Board of Public Instruction will ask the General Assembly to raise the monthly salary to $40 a month when it presents its budget recommendations to the leg islature. He further revealed that superintendents of North Carolina' public school sys tems, meeting In their win ter conference, had urged that school bus driver salaries be raised to $50 a month. In order to qualify to drive a school bus, one must take a special training course and pass a course examination. Dr. Charles F. Carroll, state superintendent of pub lic instruction, has predicted a "serious crisis" in the state if the new ruling In im plemented Feb. 1. Presently, there are some 9,200 student school bus driv ers in North Carolina, and 7,500 of them would auto-' matically come under the amendment. Student's have been operating school buses in this state for 50 years. Gov. Dan K. Moore has writ ten U. S.
