Title: Sooooo ... 22 kids per bus, now?
Post by: Buzz on February 24, 2021, 09:42:24 PM
According to today's email ... "Buses transporting students will be limited to one student per seat. Students from the same household may be seated with each other, as well as nurses and paraprofessionals assigned to students."

Only 10% capacity in MSG, but this is safe???

(And the front seats are STILL going to be off limits in my bus.)

The email Kind of contradicts itself, they say 25%, then they say one student per seat. What is 25% of our capacity? Regardless, no one sits in the first two seats behind me

Or 50% of adult [read: junior high] capacity.

I think you're reading it wrong.

"The Office of Pupil Transportation has updated the guidelines with regard to transporting students from 25% capacity as follows:"

But it was poor wording.

" if students are at the stop and they have facemasks we are required to let them board to avoid overcrowding". Why, they can't social distance outside on a corner of a street?. If we let more kids on the bus the overcrowding will take place on the bus, you're freaking idiots!
