🚌 arrived 7:36a today, which is again outside p/u 🪟but usual time. Text 🚌 was on time received 7:14a (7:07a yesterday) so not helpful. But 🚌 arrived text received at 8:18a which is helpful if true. Last day of school for @stcoletta! #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @councilofdc.bsky.social

Students & families NEED 🚌 to arrive at a CONSISTENT time; don’t care if w/in 🪟 or not! All year 🚌 arrived 7:40-7:45a except yesterday & a few other times but NO notice! Why can’t we have an app like @Uber to track 🚌, @OSSEDC @councilofdc ?!? @wtopnews.bsky.social @postlocal @dcnewsnow.bsky.social

So, 🚌 arrived at 7:37a which is *usual* time, but outside p/u 🪟. However, yesterday 🚌 arrived at 8:10a, which is w/in p/u 🪟 but 30min later than usual. 🫠 This inconsistency is what kills families! @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw #ShareYourBusStory @mayorbowser.bsky.social @chmnmendelson.bsky.social

Again, @OSSEDC, I just don’t understand how transporting students on a regular schedule is SO HARD?!? Son supposed to arrive NLT 3:30, but it’s 4 & still not arrived!!! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson @MayorBowser @cmzparker5 @wtopnews.bsky.social

@OSSEDC - how hard is it to set a schedule & sticker to it?!? Son just arrived home (1:30p) but schedule says 12:39p - which TBH is IMPOSSIBLE since school ends at 12:30p on W. How can this still be happening 2.5yr later??? @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @TheArcUS #ShareYourBusStory

63 🚌 routes impacted today (incl. 2 DOWN)!!! I know it’s Friday, but come on @OSSEDC !!! Stupid ridiculous we’re at ~#SchoolDay600 & we’re no better than we were & this is based on SELF-REPORTED data!!! 🙇‍♀️ @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @dcsboe.bsky.social @cmzparker5.bsky.social #ShareYourBusStory

30 🚌 routes late… still not good. Not sure it ever will be. 😔 @mayorbowser.bsky.social @ChmnMendelson @CMZParker5 @councilofdc @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @dcsboe.bsky.social @wtopnews.bsky.social @postlocal @DCNewsNow @WashInformer @51stnews @wusa9 @7NewsDC #ShareYourBusStory

20 🚌 routes late today. Just never great & not sure the new @OSSEDC “Parent Portal” will fix all the problems. Only received notice once I reached out; worried about families getting lost. @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @DCNewsNow @WTOP @postlocal @DCSBOE @mayorbowser.bsky.social

*Only* 27 🚌 routes reported late today 🫠 Wish for 0 & no reporting necessary but not even a lawsuit had achieved that. @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc @CMZParker5 @DCSBOE @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @WTOP @postlocal @51stnews #ShareYourBusStory

& heard @OSSEDC sent text & email yesterday about new “Parent Portal” operational 6/9, but I didn’t receive any notice (nor many others!). How’m I supposed to use it w/ no info?!? @byTheresaVargas @AWainwrightTV @MarielCarbone @laurenmlumpkin

48 🚌 routes late on > #SchoolDay590
When will @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc provide the TRANSPORTATION required to #disabled students?!? #ShareYourBusStory @DCChildrensLaw @WashLaw4CR @DCSBOE @CMZParker5 @postlocal @WTOP @wusa9 @7NewsDC @WashInformer @51stnews

26 🚌 routes late on #SchoolDay557. Shocked it isn’t more due to 🌧️ but data is self-reported… #ShareYourBusStory @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc @CMZParker5 @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @WTOP @postlocal @51stnews @WashInformer @wusa9 @7NewsDC @fox5dc

Well, after a long stretch, the bus was again late. It’s supposed to arrive at 3:45p but arrived at 4:16p today w/ no notice. Ugh! Please let this be a blip & not the start of a trend! 🤞

29 🚌 routes late on #SchoolDay556. So sad that so many students are missing educational opportunities their ENTITLED to receive due to @OSSEDC @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc failure!!! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @WTOP @postlocal @WashInformer

37 🚌 routes late on #SchoolDay555 (give/take). Really really absurd this is still a thing #disabled students & their families have to deal with! @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @CMZParker5 @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @WTOP @postlocal @WashInformer #ShareYourBusStory

Apologies it’s been >1month since I posted but my real job has been crazy busy.
Anyways, we’re at least at #SchoolDay550 & they’re 38 🚌 routes reported late. REALLY unbelievable this is still a thing @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @CMZParker5!!! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR

25 🚌 routes late on #SchoolDay512. This is better than other days but it’s still NOT OKAY. Won’t normalize this poor performance by @OSSEDC! @MayorBowser @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @postlocal @WTOP @DCSBOE #ShareYourBusStory

Not surprised that it’s 40 🚌 routes impacted on #SchoolDay510. Fridays are ALWAYS worse but @OSSEDC does nothing to mitigate! #ShareYourBusStory @MayorBowser @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson @DCSBOE @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @WTOP @postlocal @DCNewsNow @7NewsDC @wusa9 @WashInformer

30 🚌 routes late on #SchoolDay509! @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc @CMZParker5 @CMRobertWhiteDC @DCSBOE @Henderson4Ward5 @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @postlocal @WTOP @DCNewsNow @WashInformer @wusa9 @7NewsDC @51stnews #ShareYourBusStory

#SchoolDay508 & 28 🚌 routes late. It NEVER ENDS!!! @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @CMZParker5 @councilofdc @DCSBOE @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @TheArcUS @postlocal @WTOP @wusa9 @DCNewsNow @WashInformer @51stnews @7NewsDC #ShareYourBusStory

This is #SchoolDay506
@dcpublicschools & many @dcpcsb were out on 3/13 & 3/14 - with @stcoletta out on 3/14 for #DC students.
Apologies I missed 502-505 but work sucks. Hoping it’s better for everyone else!!!

No 🍀 of the Irish today as 43 🚌 routes impacted- incl. 12 DOWN! #Disabled students can’t GET TO school!!! @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc @CMZParker5 @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @DCSBOE @Henderson4Ward5 @postlocal @WTOP @DCNewsNow @wusa9 @51stnews #ShareYourBusStory

59 🚌 routes late on #SchoolDay501?!? How is this possible @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc? That’s 20% of routes late!!! @ossedc CONTINUES to FAIL #disabled students & their families! #ShareYourBusStory @postlocal @wtop @wusa9 @7newsdc @dcnewsnow @dcsboe

(& missed #SchoolDay499 yesterday as busy with my REAL job & my kids & medical appointments & everything everyone has but that @councilofdc & @MayorBowser don’t think are important for #disabled students & their families!!!)

Can’t testify at @councilofdc oversight hearing today (due to my REAL job!) but hoping @cmzparker5.bsky.social @CMRobertWhiteDC @chmnmendelson.bsky.social will read my testimony & grill @OSSEDC on 🚌. It’s not better - no matter what @OSSEDC says!!! @dcsboe.bsky.social @roberthendersondc.bsky.social

#SchoolDay500 but no reason to celebrate as 27 🚌 routes late - self-reported by @OSSEDC! How is failing to provide 🚌 to 1/10 of your routes acceptable service?!? @mayorbowser.bsky.social @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @postlocal @WTOP @DCNewsNow #ShareYourBusStory
