From what I read in the article, it’s not the school’s fault in any way. The bus company, however, deserves to be sued.
Why da FAQ is there such thing a bus company for public schools
This is what corruption looks like in practice folks
in software engineering we often say: outsource anything that’s not your core value proposition
basically, don’t take valuable time and effort from the thing you do well and want to focus on to do something that you don’t really care about, that someone else is spending time and effort focusing on doing well. in this situation, managing a load of busses isn’t something the schools should be focusing on: they should focus on education, and getting kids there and home should be the job of someone else specialised in doing that task
There are different business models. Some offer turnkey solutions, some focus on core values. Simply for the sake of accountability and additional tasks school buses are used for, it makes sense to keep them under the umbrella of the schools.
None of this advocates running public services like a business.
school busses in australia are never under the control of schools. i understand that our countries are different but its not a universal fact that school busses work the same everywhere
our system works great here
