In Montgomery Co., bus driver shortages anger parents, strand students

In Montgomery County, a bus driver shortage has led to some schools having to excuse students from classes when their buses do not show up in the morning. At others, parent volunteers are solicited to drive groups of bus riders to school in their personal cars...

The public has an interest in efficient transportation for public school students whether or not it is in the constitution.
