First bitter bell for disabled students from the Sassari hinterland who travel to reach the high schools of Sassari. The transport service was not activated. Some had to give up returning to school.
The Province of Sassari has not completed the tender for the school bus transport service that guarantees the home-school route to students with disabilities . Parents are ready to protest. Bureaucracy has gotten in the way, preventing children arriving from nearby towns from reaching high schools in Sassari.
On Tuesday, September 10, the return to the classroom was possible only for those who could travel and reach their school only on board their parents' cars. But it is not possible for everyone. Mom and dad's work schedules often do not coincide with those of the school.
"We tried to contact the Province offices without success or receiving unclear explanations - explains Sabina Saba, a mother from Porto Torres who complains about the poor service - we know that the funds are available but there is no sign of the tender for the assignment of the service".
The Province is waiting for the Region to define the process of publishing on the Buras the allocation of funds allocated by the regional council, about 300 thousand euros destined for student transport . For now, the provincial administration guarantees reimbursement of expenses to families or the companion of disabled people on public transport. The ones who pay the price are the kids, a situation of real chaos with inconvenience for students and parents who are preparing to protest with banners and placards in front of the Provincial Palace.
