The Deptford Township School District in Gloucester County has announced a reduction in the number of students eligible for free bus services, which has surprised parents and local authorities. The changes will eliminate free bus service for elementary and middle school students living within two miles of their school, and high school students living within two and a half miles. Additionally, the district is cutting down on bus stops. Mayor Paul Medany has criticized the plan, stating that neither he nor the police department were consulted and expressing concerns about student safety.
