Some families are outraged after a NJ district said they will not be bussed for free less than one month before the new year starts.
Students who live within two and two and a half miles from their schools will no longer be bussed for free in the Deptford Township School District in Gloucester County We are less than one month away from the start of the new school and one district in southern New Jersey is telling families to find a different way to get to school or be prepared to pay up.
"Once you pass that sidewalk, where's the safety for our children? There is none," she said."I was told I wouldn't get a bus and I would have to pay, I think $375?"saying that the district is reducing the number of bus stops and the number of children bused to and from school. Cliver told NBC10 that she is a single mom of three kids and it's hard for her to come up with this unexpected bus expense."They've decided to take it away on Aug. 9. The school year is starting in less than a month," she said.
"I understand the budgetary aspect. I understand the legality of it but at the end of the day, it's the safety of the kids," Cliver said.
