Some children did not get off their school bus until just before 10 p.m., in what the superintendent called a 'transportation disaster.'
The largest school system in Kentucky closed schools Thursday and Friday following what the superintendent called a "transportation disaster" that left some children on buses until just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, the first day of school,In a video statement posted to social media Thursday, Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Marty Pollio apologized to the district's 96,000 students, their families, bus drivers and school officials.
In a Facebook post Wednesday, Pollio said JCPS "always experiences delays in transportation during the first days of school" but that what occurred Wednesday "is unacceptable." "We will be working diligently to make adjustments with the goal of reducing bus wait times and ensuring every child who needs one has a safe ride to and from school," Pollio said in the statement.Because children were delayed getting home to families, the Louisville Metro Police Department told CNN they had a few calls from parents. The children, however, were found prior to the report-taking process.
A "substantial amount of change" was caused by a new school assignment model, according to the statement. "We are fully confident that the new bell times and the new routes will work as planned, and we will do everything we can to support the district during this process."
