CPS students, parents rally after bus transportation canceled just weeks before start of school year – ABC7 (Chicago)

More than 5,000 students attending magnet and selective enrollment schools saw their bus routes canceled as the district said it has continued to grapple with a severe bus driver shortage. "Students and parents are now facing commutes up to five hours per day. Some have resorted to unreliable and potentially unsafe third-party transportation services costing families hundreds of dollars each month," said Hal Woods with Kids First Chicago.
