Without busing, CPS parents tell board of ed, they’re commuting for hours and risking their jobs – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Deepak Jha and his son, Vansh, 6, commute home on a Metra train, Sept. 20, 2023.Chicago Public Schools parent Deepak Jha says he and his first grade son, Vansh, can only keep up their daily three- to four-hour round-trip commute on public transportation for so long. “It’s not sustainable,” Jha said, adding that despite departing before dawn, his son has been tardy nearly every day. And on four separate days, he had no choice but to keep Vansh at home rather than make the commute, due to work demands.
