Ackerman vows to stop lateness of school buses
Philadelphia Schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman promised parents Wednesday that her administration would immediately tackle widespread problems of erratic and late school buses. A mother from the Sankofa Freedom Academy charter school in Frankford told the School Reform Commission at its regular meeting about poor service provided by a district-contracted bus company. Ackerman directed the woman to call her office Monday if problems remained. Ackerman said she had heard similar transportation complaints from parents across the city at her first parents roundtable Tuesday night.
