RALEIGH -- The Wake County school board has scheduled a special meeting for Monday to potentially restore funding for after-school activity bus service.
The school board had agreed to eliminate the activity bus service earlier this year to help deal with the tight budget. But with the start of traditional-calendar schools on Wednesday, parents have complained about losing the bus service used by students who take part in sports, clubs or other extracurricular activities.
Board members will talk about reinstating the program by using part of the $27.7 million the district is expected to receive out of the state's $300 million share of the federal Education Jobs Bill.
