Elementary kids should not have to ride a Port Authority Transit (PAT) bus to get to school.

Some public schools are using a loophole to keep the funding allocated for student transportation, and offering charter school students PAT bus tickets in place of the traditional yellow school bus. Students should be treated equally regardless of riding to a public or charter school. It is disappointing the state must pass a law to end this dangerous practice. I got to ask the Secretary of Education about this loophole during budget hearings.
