BOE: No Busing Tomorrow – Call Your School For Schedule

school bus squeezing through-readers scoop sentAs earlier reported, TLS has been advised by the Board Of Education that there will not be any busing tomorrow, as many streets in town remain impassable. Regarding school closings which many have contacted TLS about, please phone your school’s ‘snow line’ for that information, as each private school decides on their own school schedule during winter storms.

  1. if they make it that there is school but no transportation, that will be terrible!! how are we supposed to get our kids to school if the busses can’t even get through the streets??

  2. Let them have off the whole week. It’s worse to have everyone carpooling in this mess than to have my kids home. I’m enjoying the time off actually, and so are they!

  3. I would not want even one kid on the road unnecassarily, haven’t we had enough tragedies recently. Lets do what is safest not what will give us the most satisfaction.

  4. tiferes bais yaakov is closed.
    if the roads are bad enough for the buses what makes you think that it’s going to be any safer for you to drive your kids to school. the amount of traffic that it is going to create and with people who don’t how to drive in snow, i wouldn’t even bother. is another day really going to make a difference?

  5. A big thank you goes out to all the people who worked so hard contributing to the total tally of a WHOPPING 1077 comments(without mine) that were posted during this storm, when combining all the important comments from all the important posts! THANK YOU! I would never have made it through this without you all! Some comments made me laugh, some- well,a sour face at how grumpy some people are and some just made me cringe at the amazing spelling and grammar this town has come to be synonymous with! ALL entertained me though. Kept me busy. Sorry though to those I didn’t have time to read. I’m sure we’ll have another chance this winter!

  6. B”H, we are proud to have our kids being mechaneich by YTT!! Rabbi Gelbwacs is an ish emes, and is never afraid to do what’s right (sei beruchnies and sei begashmius) for his talmidim and their parents, EVEN IF ITS UNPOPULAR. Thank you again YTT for everything!!

  7. how is the driving to schools tom. going to happen esp. cheder 9th 1 way 10 between lex and clifton closed 7th basically 1 way and so on and so forth.
    that coupled with snow ice and inexperienced snow drivers this is hard to imagine

  8. If your schools had proper drop off areas and proper parking lots when they were built you would be able to drop off your children safely. I keep hearing at the planning board “we don’t need parking, our teachers and students walk to school”.

  9. Why is their one snow phone line for bais faiga when you have every parent and child in the entire lakewood calling it ?? Of course no one can get through till 5 am being by than all kids are sleeping !!!

  10. So the girls are off and the boys have school? No transportation- and you will rely on carpooling on streets that still need help with snow removal. I think its time for a new administrator.
    By the way #14 is right

  11. thank you boe when you know the schools are open anyway do you really think that its still safer to have the parents driving over the busses kudos to avrohom ostreicher

  12. the bus companies want everyone to be safe, why risk an accident with your children, and what about you as an parent you want was best for them. so enjoy the time with them, they grow to quickly be kid and play in the snow with them build a snowman, have a snowball fight. just enjoy

  13. it’s simple folks. Busses can’t drive through developments that were not properlyplowed. We have one lane only. Guess what happens when 2 vehicles drive from opposite directions and meet in the road with no room to move over?!

  14. NO Homestead rebates. NO State aid for schools, NO new tunnel to replace the 100 year old tunnel which is the only rail link up the East Coast and now NO snow removal____Voting Republican has sure turned NJ into the NO STATE.

  15. The reason the Cheder is open and not Bais Faiga is because boys have an obligation to learn Torah. Girls do not. Why do parents leave their boys at home and teach them that Torah learning isn’t important? Thank you to all the Rebeim that go out of their way to teach the Chashivus of Torah.

  16. And yes, it’s a lot safer for smaller cars with seatbelts and parents that make sure their kids use the seatbelts then busses with no supervision and no seatbelts (that are being used) and busses with no traction!!!

  17. School buses do have seatbelts, but the kids won’t use them. Apparently, not taught from their parents about safety. Oh yeah, most kids in there parents car are jumping around, why would they sit in the schoolbus???
    Many of the communities are a tight squeeze for a bus without there being snow, I just can’t imagine with the snow.
    Why would you want to put your children at risk? Aside from the transportation, how about the safety of the kids standing at the bus stops with the streets not being plowed well? Just a thought!!

  18. what do you mean no supervision #36 who do you think is behind the wheel of the bus a ghost? I’m glad I’m not driving the bus it’s bad enough trying to drive in Lakewood and then add snow and ice into the mix, before people start bashing us driver’s why don’t you go get a CDL and drive a bus and see what we see and put up with on a daily basis.

  19. Bus Driver: It’s nearly impossible for a driver of so many kids to keep them in line, there is a need for a bus monitor. I’ve seen carpool drivers with a lot less kids and a smaller vehicle have trouble keeping the kids seated and behaving. This was not meant to be a put-down for bus drivers. Some of them are very responsible and efficent..

  20. drive your children to school. It is much safer then having bus accidents right now. Enjoy the extra time with your children. You should consider driving pools so we can get rid of bussing all together.

  21. To #39: My son’s school has no public or private bussing tomorrow, so I assume there is no BOE transportation for anyone. Does anyone know if Bais Faiga has school tomorrow, Thursday?

  22. #40, I don’t know about anyone else but as for me I don’t need NOR want a monitor on my bus, had one on my bus last year for the primaries and she wasn’t worth the wasted seat she took up all she did was either stare out the window or talk on her cell phone wasn’t keeping eye on the children since that’s what she was supposed to do so I finally told her that if she wasn’t going to keep her focus and attention to the children I don’t need nor want her on my bus, needless to say she didn’t ride the bus after that especially when MY boss complained to the school.

  23. To # 22- who saidL” Very nice. the massage says that Bais Faiga is closed but my son has cheder. If my daughter is off my son is not going to cheder either. simple.”

    Who are you punishing exactly?
