AN INNER-CITY special school says it will be forced to remove disabled students from school buses as the state government struggles to meet demand for overstretched transport services.
Staff at Port Phillip Specialist School said the Education Department told them two weeks ago that new students who lived within 4.8 kilometres of the school would not be guaranteed a spot on free bus services. ''They were very clear and said I had to tell parents that they weren't entitled to a bus run, that it wasn't a given as it used to be,'' said a staff member, who did not want to be named.
