With a rising number of complaints, Ontario’s Ombudsman Paul Dubé announced Monday that his office would be looking into Toronto’s school bus woes. Nearly a month into the school year, Dubé said his office continues to receive complaints from children and parents in Toronto scrambling over no-show buses. We continue to receive complaints from frustrated families who are experiencing chronic delays or are repeatedly forced to scramble to get children to school when their buses don’t show up,” Dubé said. Both the Toronto District School Board and Toronto Catholic District School Board have been notified, and will be queried on whether the oversight of student transportation and their response to delays and disruptions were “adequate.”“We will look at what the boards knew about possible transportation problems, how they responded and, communicated with parents, and what can be done to prevent such problems in future,” Dubé said.
