School bus drivers and maintenance staff are making their voices heard. Representing Cupe Local 1235, the membership is very concerned about the axe that continues to chop away at the provincial education budget including two million on transportation alone. Vallie Stearns is the union rep and tells CHSJ News, making the announcements this late in the year means alot of people won't find out about new rules.

Stearns says some children, regardless of age, will have to start walking to class if they live with-in 2.4 km's of the building. Some districts are even considering staggering start times at schools so they can bus the children there and some bus runs will be amalgamated.
