Problem Statement:The frequent and prolonged delays of school buses in the community negatively impact the daily routines and overall well-being of students, classmates, teachers, other school staff, parents, and the parents' workplace. This problem is overall due to bus driver shortages.

Two proposed solutions to address the problem:

1. I recommend increasing wages and providing benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off can attract more people to the job.

2. I also recommend that schools implement recruitment programs targeting retirees, veterans, or stay-at-home parents, who might find the work schedule compatible with their lifestyle.

Help:

A. Which solution will have a greater impact, and why? (Impact is described as the extent to which the solution can make a positive difference)

B. Which solution is more feasible, and why? (Feasibility refers to the extent to which a solution can be implemented based on accessible resources)

C. Which solution has more viability, and why? (Viability is the extent to which an innovation can be supported by current policies and systems of power)

D. Which solution has a higher risk, and why? (The measure of risk considers both the likelihood of failure and the possibility of unintended consequences)

E. Which solution will have more resistance, and why? (Resistance describes the extent to which others will embrace or resist the solution)

F. Which solution might make the other solutions more feasible and viable? Which solutions could at least kick off the effort?

G. Based on the answers for A-F, select the best potential solution for the presented problem.

H. Explain why you selected this solution.
