Assuming all goes as planned there will be courtesy bussing for next year and perhaps thereafter. The NJ Senate voted for a pilot program tailored for Lakewood that will give the private schools control over the funding for state mandated bussing of their students. The pilot plans on negotiating lower rates with bus companies that will leave extra money for courtesy busing. The township promised to fund the courtesy bussing for public school students not eligible for mandated bussing.
