LIVINGSTON PARISH - Parents of students at some Livingston Parish schools are being asked to make alternate transportation plans because of reduced bus service on Thursday and Friday.

Albany Middle School and Albany High School notified families Wednesday afternoon that certain buses would not be running some or all of their routes the rest of the week. Officials said the buses would not be running due to a lack of bus drivers and bus driver substitutes. 

"Please do your best to transport your child to and from school on these days if their bus will not be running according to this information," Albany Middle School officials said in a social media post. "Thanks for your understanding!"
