Atlanta Public Schools bus drivers told the school board Monday they’re being shorted of pay while working in poor conditions.

The bus drivers reported to work five days earlier this year than in previous years.

Deputy Superintendent Larry Hoskins said Monday the pay issue is being negotiated, and the school system has said the drivers will work and be paid for the same number of days as in past years.
