Summary
First Student will lay off 125 employees from its school bus operations after losing a district contract, according to the report. The cuts affect bus service personnel (drivers and related staff) tied to the contract the company lost. The layoffs are a direct result of the company not retaining the district route contract, which reduces the need for those positions. First Student confirmed the reduction as part of the operational impact of losing that business.
