Boston Public Schools has said hiring enough drivers and substitute drivers has been very difficult. City councilors called this meeting back in June, before the current school year even began.
Some Boston city councilors have described the reliability of school transportation as"unreliable" and in"disarray," and Thursday, they're meeting to figure out what to do.
Boston Public Schools is trying to help students address barriers to finishing their education, and say that it starts with a conversation. State education officials are also investigating the BPS transportation issues after an advocacy group filed a complaint on behalf of six students, alleging it disproportionately impacts students with disabilities and students of color.
On its website, the district says it’s “working hard to improve service for families and students” – next to an ad that says their transportation company Transdev is hiring bus drivers for $28 an hour, plus a $4,000 sign-on bonus and paid training.
