Dallas ISD Changes Private Transportation Service For Special Program Kids
DALLAS, Texas (1080 KRLD) - A cost-saving measure has been scrapped at Dallas County Schools after concerns about student safety.
Dallas ISD and its transportation provider Dallas County Schools have agreed to do away with a program that hired private drivers to pick up children enrolled in special programs.
There was a lot of concern and confusion last school year when town cars, SUV's and taxi cabs started picking up around 2,000 students -- instead of buses.
Dallas ISD Transportation Changes
Dallas County Schools had put the program in place as a way to save money.
The new plan for the 2014 school year is to launch a fleet of minibuses - all painted a uniform blue so they are recognizable.
The minibuses will be driven by trained bus drivers.
