After some students were left stranded at Grantley Adams Memorial School until about 8 o’clock on Tuesday night, concerns have been raised about the inefficient bus service.
A resident called the DAILY NATION to express disgust at the situation soon after the bus left. He said some children were forced to go to nearby houses to call their parents to see if they could be collected from the Blackman’s, St Joseph school.
Yesterday, principal Valdez Francis, who has been in charge since last July, said there were as many as eight buses in the morning but only two or three in the evening. He explained it was not the school’s fault, but they tried to work with the Transport Board.
“Generally I get the guard to monitor the arrival of the buses. My deputy goes down there, I go sometimes and at a certain time [when] I notice there is no bus, I would call the Transport Board and generally they would help me.” (LK)
