WA schools say changes to bus services threaten their future

Independent schools in regional Western Australia are expressing deep concern over proposed changes to student travel subsidies, which they claim could severely impact their ability to operate. The principal of one school warns that without sufficient funding, the institution's future is at risk, potentially leading to closures. These changes could reshape the educational landscape in rural areas, affecting not just the schools but the broader community reliant on them. The potential loss of these schools highlights the urgent need for a balanced approach to funding that supports both urban and rural education systems.
