Fight for disability transport assistance

Two families say the ACT and NSW governments are ''tearing the fabric of our family'' apart after refusing to provide disability transport for their sons.
Di Grandjean, of Jerrabomberra, and Scott Russell, of Queanbeyan, have been engaged in a four-month battle with the two state education departments after deciding to enrol their boys in Black Mountain Specialist School at the end of last year. James Grandjean, 12, has cerebral palsy, autism and epilepsy, while Jake Russell, 11, has cerebral palsy.
Both families received letters of support from the NSW Department of Education to make the swap and were assured their sons would be provided with bus or taxi support to cross the border.

But Mrs Grandjean said the policy changed over the Christmas holidays so that any new students to the ACT would no longer receive transport assistance from the NSW government.
