"Parents on Edge as School Bus Driver Strikes Loom in NYC and Coventry"
Parents of special needs students in New York City are preparing for potential chaos as a school bus driver strike looms. Approximately 25,000 special needs students rely on school buses for transportation, and if an agreement is not reached before the start of the school year, families will have to find alternative transportation options. The New York City Department of Education has promised to provide MetroCards, prepaid rideshares, and reimbursement plans, but some parents have expressed concerns about the effectiveness of these measures.
