Gov’s Request Would Mean No School Buses on Oahu

By /
Even if the Legislature were to give the Department of Education 100 percent of the amount that Gov. Neil Abercrombie has requested for school buses next year, the district would have to end student transportation on Oahu.

That’s what Assistant Superintendent of School Facilities and Support Services Randy Moore told lawmakers at a hearing today. The district would still be $17 million shy of what it needs to continue providing the full level of school bus services Hawaii students currently enjoy.
