They are choosing to pay parents $300 each instead of just paying bus drivers better? Absolute nonsense
holy fuck how many bus drivers could you hire if you raised wages by that much instead.
The district currently has about 210 bus drivers and is able to use 13 additional approved contracting companies to supplement their bus service.
The school district has about 105 vacancies and is actively hiring through its website.
Students who live more than one to one-and-a-half miles from their school, as well as students on education plans that have curb-to-curb transportation service required, are eligible for the transportation plan.
Approximately 13,000 families are currently enrolled in the plan. Families have until the end of September to apply for this program.
So, it's millions.
But it does seem like this is for "difficult to bus" students.
Damnit I read that backwards. I was like 300/month not to drive? Fantastic!
Ugh, now I'm sad.
Just fucking pay bus drivers.
Sure the planet is heating up faster, but at least we could spend less money on education...
As an aside I read this as carbonated instead of carbrained and thought this was going to be about something else.
Have fun with the traffic
Haha, fuck Philly transport and education leaders are dumb as shit.
My old high school just sold all their buses, and it seems the bus pass they gave out is temporary.
its 3 bucks a ride here lol
Let's add buses to reduce traffic. Let's pay parents to reduce driver needs. Let's run around in circles.
