St. Paul Public Schools will hold a news conference Tuesday to discuss a bus driver shortage that has spurred the district to give metro bus passes to some students. Meanwhile, school buildings in Stillwater are open early for student drop-off, after a bus provider told the district it needed to cut routes due to staffing. This is an MPR News morning update for Tuesday, September 7, 2021. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.

Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
