Ramsey Khalifeh at The Gothamist reports Union-represented School bus drivers in New York City have reached a tentative contract agreement with the city’s major school bus companies, seemingly averting a strike that could have disrupted pickups and drop-offs for some 80,000 students.  Around 4,400 bus routes serving 25,000 special education students would have been affected. However, City School Chancellor David Banks cautions the dispute has not been completely resolved.  Negotiations between Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181, which represents the Bus Drivers - and some companies are still ongoing.
