Some parents brace for chaotic first day as school bus driver shortage leaves 2,100 CPS students without rides – Chicago Tribune*

Locally, the shortage means that about 2,100 CPS students, mostly selective enrollment or magnet school students, won’t have bus transportation on Monday. The district has offered affected students a $1,000 stipend for the first two weeks, with $500 per month after that.

It’s a scam to boost attendance. Initial payment is $1000, $500 a month thereafter. The parents will tell the kid to stat walking and drive to Rivers. CPS is so clumsy why don’t they just pour paint on themselves!

$500 a month???? Who wouldn’t want to drive their kid to school for that.
