Chicago Public Schools families left without a bus ride to class face ‘enormous stress’ as first day nears – WBEZ (Chicago)

CPS is prioritizing students with disabilities and kids in temporary living situations amid the ongoing national bus driver shortage. That leaves students in magnet or selective enrollment programs without bus services, instead receiving free CTA cards for the upcoming school year. But parent Ryun Patterson isn't comfortable with his 13-year-old daughter taking the CTA to Disney Magnet School. He and his wife rearranged their schedules to handle pick ups i and drop offs, and they plans to spend at least $15 a day on Uber rides.
