Sudhan Thomas, running for a seat on the Jersey City Board of Education joined students and parents Thursday morning for a ride to school on a yellow bus to shed light on the issue of no buses for the city’s high school students.
“Jersey City does not provide yellow bus transportation for high school students and never has,” says BOE Chief of Staff, Maryann Dickar. “State law requires that we provide transportation for students who live over 2.5 miles from their school and for those high school students that qualify, we provide bus tickets for public transportation.”
