Buses provide homeless students with transportation

08.13.08 Mary Adamski, Star Bulletin Honolulu, Hawaii.
Hawaii homeless students are guaranteed a way to get to school, under a settlement intended to give homeless families full access to the public school system. The state will provide school buses and city bus passes to those who need help with transportation. The federal judge said that last year the state education department could only account for 300 of 2,000 students estimated to be homeless.
