To ask the Minister for Higher Education and Skills (for the Minister for Education): In relation to school bus services to Rokewood Primary School, can the minister guarantee that these services will not be cut or reduced as a result of the Baillieu government’s review of school bus routes.
ANSWER:
I am informed as follows:
The Department of Transport routinely reviews all free school bus services within Victoria to ensure they are meeting demand and are operating in accordance with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development guidelines. Where it is identified that a service or network of services can be better utilised, changes can be made to ensure that these resources are well aligned to demand from eligible travellers.
