school busing

[wheresmymoney!]

This is what im saying social distancing the kids need more busses ull be surprised how many parents will be happy to send their kids to school bcz virtual just doesnt cut it. Especially the special needs kids!  And the kids moving up.to new schools.  quote author=Buzz link=topic=1996.msg11120#msg11120 date=1596823880]
I'm not really sure if the majority of parents are in favor of returning to the classroom. Many ore worried about safety. Also, 2 or 3 days a week plays havoc with their work schedules. Hard to establish a routine. Feel sorry for parents of school aged children, it's not going to be easy any way they go.

According to dumb Blasio 75% of 400,000 parents surveyed want to return to brick & mortar

If you can believe him.

Whether or not the amount of Special Ed buses stays the same, doubles or even triples it's really not a good thing and if it's considered good it's only partially good and that's only for the next 6 to 7 months. If we were to lose General Ed busing, no matter how many Special Ed runs there are there will still be members losing their jobs. Furthermore once a vaccine is found then the amount of Special Ed busing will go back to normal and at that time more members will lose their jobs. Lastly as we all know once something is taken away the chances of getting it back is slim. We need our Reps, our Membership and the parents to do whatever is needed to ensure that if this idea of removing Gen Ed busing is true to immediately put a stop to it before it takes place.

They will never do away with reg Ed.  It just may not work at this point in time.

Sorry yabba I meant WigWag
And I'm not being negative. And being positive asking for assistance just in case. As I've repeatedly said ... Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I think we will be fine and not just have it for special ed. What I'm saying is I would rather hear it from someone in our union compared to going stir crazy from news articles. Decisions were made today and our union jumped on it given us positive information today.

26% of students elected to stay at home schooling.

The Mayor & DOE still leaving us and the parents in limbo with regards to General Ed busing. It's all bull shit and has nothing to do with COVID-19 as they state. I look at the numbers and the format for in-school learning and in my opinion the numbers don't lie. There is enough room to accommodate the Special Ed and General Ed students that will be in NEED of busing while adhering to social distancing. This is either about money, breaking the Union, money under the table, favors, etc. or all of the above. Give me 5 minutes with this Asshole on TV and I'd have him talking in circles in order to cover up his BS. Hopefully whatever scheme he's working on falls through and we'll have nothing to worry about.

But we don't know how many of them ride the bus. Hmm ...

It's just like when u take a survey or poll. If it's 26% of all students then I'd say it's got to be between 20 and 30% of bus students.
