Ohio’s School Bus Rule Has Parents Fuming – Here’s Why

Ohio Guarantees School Buses for Private School Kids While Many Public School Students Are Left Stranded Sometimes, the most surprising controversies aren’t about politics, sports, or celebrity gossip — they’re about something as simple, yet as vital, as how a child gets to school in the morning. In Ohio, a state transportation policy has become the center of a heated conversation, and the reason is pretty shocking: while private school students are guaranteed access to school buses, many public school kids are left figuring out their own way to class.

A scrawny bird from 1957, a slightly more developed one from 1978, and then a mammoth-looking 2005 bird.

Vice-Chancellors Call for AI, VR, and Cybersecurity in Every College — Here’s Why It Matters Imagine walking through a university campus in 2030.
