Deptford Township School District parents are not letting up after the district reversed a controversial decision to cut school bus services for some students.FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson spoke to parents who attended a packed school board meeting Tuesday night."I’m speechless when it comes to this," said Tam Burns. She is not backing down even though the school district rescinded the bombshell announcement last week presented to parents just three weeks before the start of school.
The lack of reliable transportation will inevitably place our children at unnecessary risk," said Brendan Monahan who is a parent.Cynthia Doe, who has a daughter and a niece in the district, says the plan would have been a huge inconvenience."Not everybody would be able to drop their kids off because of the time they attend school, especially mothers. I am a single mother so I am speaking from that perspective," she said.
