School District Furloughs Bus Staff

Published 2 days, 8 hours ago
Description

Chartiers Valley school board shocks community by voting to furlough over forty transportation workers—just hours before the vote—despite rumored union negotiations nearing a deal. The district’s sudden pivot to private provider First Student has ignited backlash from PSEA, parents, and advocates, especially those with kids who have special needs. Union leaders accuse the district of unfair labor practices and poor timing, while officials cite stalled contracts and safety concerns as justification. Families are scrambling with worries about consistency, safety, and trust in unfamiliar drivers—all while dozens of employees face job loss.
