TACOMA – Almost two-dozen Tacoma school bus drivers who serve students with special needs called in sick for the third day in a row Wednesday. The drivers are protesting low pay and long hours.

Not all drivers are holding out, and those still coming to work are covering extra bus stops to pick up the slack. Parents have also been voluntarily picking up and dropping off kids.
