I have recently had a number of parents in Chicago Public Schools who have no busing. As a result these children miss days or even months of school. This is a chronic issue, however, CPS officials do not seem to take this issue very seriously. I was interviewed regarding this pervasive issue that effects too many students in CPS-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL06XBs-b0o

It is time for this to stop! I am not from this state and when I seen children 5 years old forcing their way to school through snow storms and rain I was appalled. It is time that Illinois loses the corrupt politicians and take care of the future.

This upsets me no end! We should be taking much better care of these special students!
In my school district I cannot tell you how upset I was when the dismissal bus for the special education students was 30-35 minutes later than the regular school buses. I repeatedly went to the principal stating my concern. As a union representative I thought I might have some clout but I did not. After a month the bus did come 10- 15 minutes late. Some improvement but it never did come the same time as the regular education buses.
The students had a very difficult time waiting and only the special education teacher had to stay late with them.
I felt there was no respect for the teacher or the students.
