Frustration continues for families with students in the Deptford Township School District after leaders say bus routes were deleted.

“I just feel like this all should be easier than what they’re making this out to be and what they’re doing to us," Amy Luke explained.Luke is just one of many parents in the Deptford Township School District who is frustrated with district leaders' handling of this year's bus plan.

“We go to the bus stop. It was a different bus number and when the bus driver came to the door to get him, there was no aide on the bus," she said.Luke said that he has been in the school district since he was 3 years old and has always ridden the bus with an aide until this day. As parents in the district started getting their kids ready for a new school year last week, many noticed they had not been assigned a bus number, or like in Derrick's case, the stop was changed from out front of his home to down the street.
