Money-saving plan results in late, missing or overfilled buses
From The Raleigh News & Observer: Since the Aug. 27 start of traditional-calendar schools, thousands of the more than 75,000 bus riders in the Wake County (N.C.) district have fallen victim to a logistical nightmare of late, overfilled or missing buses.
