EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. Twice a week, as the pandemic continues, food is delivered to students in need who go to the East Stroudsburg Area School District.
This week s snowstorm created a drop-off schedule mess and left the district with a bus driver shortage. We have a shortage of drivers, personnel that isn t coming in or aren t able to get in. We aren t going to let our families down, and we are going to go out and deliver some meals, said East Stroudsburg Area Superintendent William Riker.
