Money shortfall could lead to end of free school bus rides

The state's financial mess could mean the end of free bus rides for Illinois students.

State education officials are considering a proposal to let districts either get rid of buses or start charging for carrying students.

The Illinois Association of School Boards says transportation spending has been slashed 42% since 2010.

The legislation could be introduced as early as this week.
