Pekin Schools District 108 Bus System Fail

Some parents still had not heard by 10pm the night before school started, the evening of August 18th, 2026, what their child's bus schedule or stop location was.

This morning, some parents gave up and just took their student to school. Others had no option to do that, even though the bus never came.

Some buses were so full that they are sending "overflow" buses to the same neighborhoods.

It's the night/morning before school starts - and this is what we get from the geniuses at District 108 Central Office?

They can do better. Our kids deserve better. This is an embarrassing failure for the district.

I'm posting this in the hopes that it catches on and some accountability will be taken by the district.

The parents of Pekin's students deserve an explanation.

Why do I love King of New York so much?

I can't put my finger on it. And I also cannot understand why I let some of the film's shortcomings slide by. There is just something about this film that I love. Is it the way Frank White stares off into the night? He wants to do better; he wants to make something better. But he cannot escape the grasp of the Underworld. I don't know. Does anyone else feel this way?
