The return follows a disastrous first day of school

TODAY THERE. ALEXIS. WELL, JENNIFER AND RICK, IT맥스카지노�S SAFE TO CALL THIS A SECOND ATTEMPT AT THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR SOME JCPS STUDENTS. AND ACCORDING TO THE DISTRICT AND SOME PARENTS, IT APPEARS THAT TRANSPORTATION TODAY WAS FORTUNATELY NOT AS CHAOTIC AS LAST WEEK. NOW, THE JCPS BUS DEBACLE ON THE FIRST DAY SAW EXTREME DELAYS, FRUSTRATED PARENTS AND A DISTRICT WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK. SINCE THEN TO FIX THE ISSUES. NOW, TODAY, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SOME REPORTS OF LATE BUSSES AND KIDS WAITING ON BUS STOPS THAT OUR CAMERAS CAPTURED, IT APPEARS THE DISTRICT SHORT TERM FIXES HAVE LED TO SOME IMPROVEMENT. S NOW JCPS IMPLEMENTED SHOULDER BUDDIES OR STAFF TO HELP NAVIGATE THOSE CHALLENGING ROUTES. THEY HAVE VANS TO HELP TRANSPORT STUDENTS, KEEPING THOSE ROUTES UNINTERRUPTED AND ON TIME. AND THEY ALSO INCREASED STAFF AT THE BUS HOTLINE CENTER. NOW CPS TELLS US THAT THEY DON맥스카지노�T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY BUSSES WERE LATE GETTING KIDS TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING. BUT AT LEAST AT GOLDSMITH ELEMENTARY, THEY KNOW THE LATEST BUS ARRIVED AN HOUR AFTER THE BELL. NOW, THE DISTRICT TELLS US OVERALL IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE MORNING RUNS WERE MORE TIMELY THAN THOSE LAST WEDNESDAY. AND SOME PARENTS AGREE. I FEEL LIKE TODAY IS GOING TO GO SMOOTH SINCE IT맥스카지노�S HALF THE STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY. BUT MONDAY COMES AROUND, I맥스카지노�M SURE ONCE THEY GET THE HIGH SCHOOLERS, IT맥스카지노�LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A HEADACHE. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS WHAT IT IS. THEY DON맥스카지노�T RIDE THE BUS, SO WE DON맥스카지노�T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT YES, I THINK THEY맥스카지노�LL EVENTUALLY GET IT ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT. NOW, AS YOU HEARD, SOME PARENTS ARE WAITING TO SEE IF THAT MOMENTUM WILL CONTINUE ON MONDAY WHEN ALL STUDENTS RETURN. AND I WILL NOTE THAT OUT HERE AT BRECKINRIDGE, FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY, WHICH LETS OUT AT ABOUT 420, SOME BUSSES, DID ROLL IN MAYBE 15 TO 20 MINUTES AFTER STUDENTS WERE LET OUT TO TAKE THEM HOME. BUT THE DISTRICT SAID THAT THOSE KIND OF FIRST DAY DELAYS ARE EXPECTED. LI
