Privatizing school buses wrong

Dear Editor:
Brandon Schools community, your schools are going to ‘privatize? your buses. That’s right, six companies are in the running to take over the operation of school transportation! What kind of people do these companies hire, when they offer low wages, and no benefits? Will this private company do a background check on employees to ensure that your precious child isn’t being driven to school every day by an alcoholic, drug user, criminal or child molester? Wake up, community. Speak up, community. Tell your school board. No way. Say no to privatization.
