Bus Cuts Leave Students Stranded | Harrisburg News

Forty-nine students in Lancaster’s school district are suddenly without bus service after a summer review revealed they didn’t meet state distance requirements—elementary kids need over 1.5 miles, teens over 2 miles. Parents say they got no direct notice, despite district efforts via social media and the StopFinder app—which many, like Mumma, don’t use for younger kids. The fallout hit hard as the school year began: one mom, Priscilla Lopez, nearly kept her kids home after her daughter missed her first day of ninth grade; others on her street still struggle, especially with early work schedules. The district apologized and offered a $20 monthly bus pass, but that’s another barrier for some families. With winter coming, these kids and parents are caught between safety, logistics, and the pressure to make it to class on time.
