Jorge Figueroa+FollowChicago kids face dangerous heat on school busesA 5-year-old kindergartner with special needs ended up in the ER after a sweltering, hour-plus ride home on a CPS yellow bus with no air conditioning. Her mom was stunned to learn that getting AC on the bus requires a doctor’s note and a meeting, and that water isn’t allowed for safety reasons. With more kids needing special transportation and longer routes, families are left wondering: How can we let vulnerable children endure extreme heat with so many barriers to basic comfort? What changes do you think CPS should make to keep all students safe? #Education #ChicagoSchools #StudentSafety00Share

The brands you know (Durham, Petermann, Stock) aren’t going anywhere, but now they’ll have fresh investment to keep things rolling smoothly. The move is all about boosting driver retention, updating fleets, and keeping those yellow buses on the road. Looks like school commutes just got a major upgrade! #SchoolBusNews #Transportation #BusinessDeal #Infrastructure #StudentSafety10Share
