"School bus jobs should not be treated as throwaway jobs. Parents and children deserve the best service possible, and workers deserve the best possible working conditions and standards..."
Vanessa Pendergast was the last child in Rhode Island to be hit and killed by her school bus. Drivers and monitors and aides are essential jobs and should be protected. In the years before Vanessa died there were several kids killed every year…and not one since. Her parents, Sophia and Bill, worked tirelessly to make riding a school bus safe.
If these are throw away jobs, then our kids are also throw away, a policy choice.
