Broward School Board upset by savings shortfall
Broward
School Board members expressed disappointment Tuesday that the
transportation department is expected to fall drastically short of its
projected savings this year. "We were really banking on getting those
savings," said board member Patricia Good. "It's quite severe."
Broward school bus service shake-up yielded lower savings than expected
Broward’s
revamped schools bus service was supposed to save big money this year,
but those savings came in much smaller than expected. The Broward School
district’s overhaul of school bus service — a shake-up that led to
widespread mishaps — is expected to yield less than $3 million in cost
savings this year, district leaders announced Tuesday.
