According to Michael Inzelbuch:
“Please be formally reminded that pursuant to contract, New Jersey Administrative Code, and information provided by the New Jersey Department of Education as recently as yesterday, bussing must be provided on November 24, 2011 (Thanksgiving) unless same is not required by the school(s) you serve.” (from The Lakewood Scoop)
This doesn’t sound backdoor to me. This sounds like something perfectly legitimate which some disgruntled people are upset about, but cannot say they were tricked into.
