Spring Says Elected Officials’ Should Make Bus Decision
West End School Committee member Stephen Spring says that the decision to put Portland high school students on public buses should be made by the School Committee and the Portland City Council, and not settled by City staff members and school department members.
The busing plan, which was proposed by Spring at a joint School Committee-City Council Finance Committee meeting last fall, was deemed to be unworkable for a variety of reasons at a meeting of City and school staffers and Metro officials in February.
