Seventy percent of public school students in Louisville depend on buses for transportation.
Anger and frustration swept through a packed Louisville, Kentucky, school board meeting Tuesday night after students were stranded last week — and school closed — due to what officials called a"transportation disaster."
The problem was also rooted in a severe shortage of school bus drivers, which forced Louisville's public school district to reduce and merge its bus routes. Seventy percent of public school students in Louisville depend on school buses for transportation. Most of school in the Jefferson County Public Schools district was canceled this week due to the transportation issues.
"I'm very frustrated. I feel like when I expressed it with someone over the phone in transportation she kind of just blew me off, kind of like, it is what it is. Nothing is going to change," Gomis said.
