75141 (2024). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Education: What directions, if any, has the Ministry of Education given to schools within the Palmerston North electorate regarding the sharing of any information about eligibility or access to school bus services from 2025?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised by the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) that on 29 August 2024, the Ministry sent the Palmerston North schools an email that contained information about the Palmerston North school bus review that schools could choose to share with parents and caregivers. The Ministry has also held meetings with most Palmerston North schools about school bus route reviews. These took place on 14 May 2024 and between 29 October 2024 and 8 November 2024. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 75142 (2024).
