Make it 10

More families join lawsuit against Jefferson County busing plan

Adding to a story we’ve been tracking for some time, Wave-3 TV reports that still more families have joined the lawsuit against the Jefferson County Public Schools’ onerous busing plan that offers little hope that bad schools will improve.

This busing plan forces some Jefferson County Kindergarten and first grade kids to ride buses for an hour each way to school while negotiating at least one bus change in the process.

The plan creates no inducement for Jefferson County’s bad schools to improve. It just results in those schools messing up the lives of different students while adding huge extra costs for non-education enhancing diesel fuel, school buses and drivers. “Green” it’s not!
