JCPS is not suffering for funding. A big part of the issue is they used shitty software to plan a bus route. On top of it being notoriously hard for keeping drivers in the district.
Edit: but shit like this happens and the R’s that control the state are going to start calling for the funding to be slashed, because might as well, its already one of the worst in the state.
JCPS needs a massive overhaul. Something big needs to change.
The drivers aren’t vanishing in the night at the hands of shadowy cabal.
It’s “notoriously hard for keeping drivers” because the money needed to keep them has been pocketed by administrators or politicians. That’s why their wages keep going up but the wages of everyone below them keep going down.
It’s a problem with an identifiable cause and known solution, and it needs to be said out loud every time.
“On top of it being notoriously hard for keeping drivers in the district.”
If you pay them, they will drive. If you raise them adequately regularly, they will stay.
Just like the national “teacher shortage” because we pay them dogshit relative to their education, tell them they’re spoiled and don’t even deserve dogshit, and then blame the few still showing up for poor outcomes. Then, when kids recognize that getting into teaching makes you a sucker, we cry tears of blood about classroom sizes as if we can’t trace back why.
We should take half the defense budget for 10 years and put it into rebuilding the utter ruin that is public K-12, in order of the states with the worst outcomes, if we want to even compete in the future. We of course won’t though. We’ll jist keep saying “if only there was something we could dooooooooo…”
Ooh I know, we should cut rich peoples taxes yet again, that’ll help this time for sure!

Yea, I said that in another comment.
