Students Left Without Bus Service as Massachusetts Funds Buses for Illegals

Students Left Without Bus Service as Massachusetts Funds Buses for Illegals


 Aug. 24, 2024 

Last week, the parents of 150 students from Stoughton Public Schools, a school district outside of Boston, were informed that a lack of funding and a shortage of buses and drivers have left them without school bus service.

According to the Boston Herald, the news comes at the same time that the state has started paying for the buses of students of more than 200 migrant families.

A letter sent to parents from Superintendent of Schools Joseph Baeta read, “Finalizing the bus routes and the list of students riding the bus is one of the signs the start of the school year is near.”

“Unfortunately, for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, 150 secondary students who signed up to ride a bus were not able to be placed on a bus. Those families not receiving bus transportation were notified this week. Those receiving bus transportation will receive their bus postcards the week of August 19.”
