Stranded school bus son: NYC records show no delay in incident.
In Brooklyn Heights, a unique school serving children with dyslexia, Sterling School, is facing an unusual attendance issue. Nine-year-old Antonio Fazio, a student at the school, often misses the first period of the day, a concern for his mother, Maria Fazio.
The door-to-door distance between Fazio's home in Bergen Beach and Sterling School is only 7 miles. However, the school bus route, which travels through Sheepshead Bay, Flatbush, and Brownsville before reaching Brooklyn Heights, is causing delays. This "cursed route," as referred to by parents of Sterling School students, can take up to three hours each way.
Despite the lengthy trip, the school bus route is not directly impacting Fazio's attendance during the first period. Instead, the issue seems specific to the literacy instruction period in the morning. The first period at Sterling School is dedicated to one-on-one literacy instruction for each student, and Fazio's missed first period impacts this crucial part of his education.
Maria Fazio spends most mornings at work monitoring a tracking device in her son's backpack, ensuring he is aboard the city-funded school bus. The bus driver, Mr. Johnson, has been observed by Maria during her morning checks.
The long school bus trip does not seem to affect Fazio's overall school attendance. However, the concern remains that the missed first period could have long-term implications for his academic progress.
Sterling School, with its focus on helping children with dyslexia, is working closely with the city to address this issue and ensure all students can attend school regularly and receive the education they deserve.
