Opinion: With chronic absenteeism on the rise, why is California making school transportation harder?
Graduation season is always a bittersweet time for me. It serves as a reminder of all that I’ve accomplished and how proud I am of how far I’ve come. But it’s also a reminder of how close I came to not graduating from high school.
In California, we invest a lot of money in our school bus system, which is an essential part of the way kids get to school. But the reality is that yellow buses don’t work for every child, especially for kids in foster care. With absenteeism on the rise, it’s more important than ever that we find ways to get every kid to school.
When I was moved into the foster care system, I desperately wanted to attend my school of origin so I could see my sisters, who were living in a different home. But there was no school bus or public transportation that could get me there, leaving me separated from the most important people in my life.
