McGregor,
School bus driver Carmella Cote
said she can't count the number of times she has comforted students, or sung to
them to calm them down for the ride to and from school. Other drivers said they
always call families if they are running late and try to adhere to a consistent
routine, which is important to many children with special needs.
..... The drivers
and monitors are members of the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union, which is
set to meet with the school administration on Thursday afternoon for "impact
bargaining." Union members said yesterday that they are ready to make
concessions in order to save their jobs.
