School transportation still a moving target

A month before classes begin, school administrators are facing challenges that, in any other year, would seem routine. How will kids pass safely in the corridors? Where and when will they eat lunch?   

Then, there’s the question of how students will get to school in the first place.

County school districts and transportation providers – like most across the nation – are wrestling with the distinctive geometry of school buses, the imperative to keep students at safe distances, the need to match up with changing class schedules, and the uncertain availability of state funding to cover new expenses.
