6) parents already overwhelmed w/ medical, school, etc. advocacy & don’t need 🚌 service failure
7) @OSSEDC DOES NOT provide reliable, safe, & timely 🚌 transportation - STILL!!!
Thanks for covering @maustermuhle!

3) Not an IEP issue - it’s a fundamental 🚌 service & reliable comms issue!
4) why is @OSSEDC still using PAPER 🚌 trip tickets in 2025?!?
5) parents stop making formal complaints bc arbitrary limits (i.e. only issue 3x/week) & no follow-up

Other notable points from today:
1) SC district was able to procure & implement a 🚌 tracking app w/in 1yr. (@OSSEDC had allegedly been working on this for 6yrs!!!)
2) ALL parents noted comms was inaccurate &/or not timely - don’t need more comms if not accurate & timely

THANK YOU @ChmnMendelson for pressing @OSSEDC DOT on the procurement process for the 🚌 tracking app that has been promised since 2019! I will look forward to observing the round table on this topic next month!

So @councilofdc hearing still hasn’t started. Another indication that #disabled students & their families ARE NOT important to politicians!!! Thanks for covering this @dcnewsnow.bsky.social @MarielCarbone! lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/heari…

If you have experience &/or opinions on how @OSSEDC @MayorBowser operate 🚌 system, please sign up for the @councilofdc hearing on 10/28 👇@DCSBOE @postlocal @WashInformer @DCNewsNow @wusa9 @7NewsDC @bytheresavargas.bsky.social @laurenmlumpkin @MarielCarbone

🚌 arrived w/in 🪟but later than usual. New driver & aide are nice but admitted they had to learn the new route. Makes NO SENSE route bidding occurs after families/students get into rhythm & after practice routes before school year starts! Also no notice from @OSSEDC! 😤🤯🤬 @councilofdc.bsky.social

& was told tomorrow is 🚌 driver’s last day 😢 so next week will be fun 😩🫠. When will @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc FIX the system?!? 😤😡 @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @TheArcUS @DCNewsNow @51stnews @DCSBOE @wusa9 @7NewsDC @postlocal @WashInformer @wtopnews.bsky.social @wamu885

🚌 just arrived! 5:01pm!!! School ended at 3pm!!!

& 🚌 scheduled to arrive at 4:13pm but still not here at 4:54pm. Families of neurotypical kids would lose their mind if their children were treated this way but bc my son & others can’t speak or advocate for themselves & are medically fragile, it’s okay, right @OSSEDC???

28 🚌 routes late this morning ☹️

It never ends!!!

& still nothing on the tracker about our 🚌 route! 🤯😩🫠😡

🚌 finally arrived! Scheduled: 7:07am; Actual: 7:50am

If we had the tracking app (1st promised in 2019!!!), I could KNOW where 🚌 is!!! 40min late & now wrecking havoc on morning routine! No tracking app = no accountability!!! @wtopnews.bsky.social @postlocal @byTheresaVargas @laurenmlumpkin @DCNewsNow @MarielCarbone @51stnews @maustermuhle.bsky.social

& I know for a FACT that 🚌 route 169 didn’t show but nothing listed on the tracker 👇 😤🤬

& doesn’t look like @OSSEDC is reporting on all 🚌 routes as only 132 listed for >3000 students who require transportation 🧐 @wtopnews.bsky.social @postlocal @byTheresaVargas @laurenmlumpkin @wusa9 @AWainwrightTV @DCNewsNow @MarielCarbone @51stnews @maustermuhle.bsky.social @7NewsDC @WashInformer
