Abba, the bus companies and drivers would have been notified in advance that effective Jan. 30 the yeshiva will be opening later and no school officials or adults will be there earlier. Therefore the bus companies and drivers will know long in advance that they cannot drop them off there until the new later time. And they won’t because it is a crime of child endangerment for the driver to leave them unattended, let alone the financial liability for the company.
LC, if the bus isn’t getting the children from the route for the second yeshiva until an hour after school starts then the district is failing to fulfill its mandate under the law to get the children to school on time. If so, the district will have to reimburse all the second route children to obtain alternate method of transportation, since they by law are mandated to get them to school on time. And the reimbursement will cost them far more than what a contracted bus route costs them. (And the can’t blame the parents or children from the second school for the fact that the first route from another school is opening later. In fact the can’t punish the parents/children from the first route either since the district’s busing mandate is to the parents/children rather than to the school.)
