Privatizing bus service in the Lincoln Consolidated Schools will not result in economic savings for the district, a labor relations expert said Monday. Roland Zullo, a research scientist at the University of Michigan's Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, told Lincoln school board members and a packed audience at Monday's board meeting that he has studied privatization for 12 years, in such service areas as school busing, trash pickup and urban transit.
