What Erik T. Bohen said on Sep 16, 2026

We have administrators throughout the district that are working 12-hour days because the buses are not coming on time, and it's costing the district money in the long run. We also have— when these kids get left behind, there's no nurses in these buildings, and this could continue to happen throughout the winter months. Where a child could get sick.Erik T.
