Summary
Families in the Donegal School District are reeling from chaotic bus schedules and inconsistent transportation as the school year begins — with special needs students like a nine-year-old with ADHD and intellectual delays hit hardest by the disruption. The switch to new provider Krapf Group in May 2026, after years of reliable service with Durham School Services, has brought not just higher costs — ballooning from $1.7M to $3.2M annually — but also daily chaos: multiple drivers per route, no monitors where needed, and zero communication. While the district claims it’s working to fix things and even says future contracts will save money, parents demand transparency and accountability, frustrated by broken promises and lack of timely solutions for kids whose routines are already fragile.
