Alleged school bus defect left kids stranded, cost schools millions

An alleged manufacturing defect in hundreds of school buses purchased by metro Atlanta school districts has left taxpayers on the hook for expensive repairs and left children at times stranded in broken-down buses, local school district officials say.

“There have been many cases where these buses failed while on routes carrying students,” Cobb school district officials said in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In those situations, another bus has to be located, then sent to pick up the students while they wait.
