December 20, 2013 Board of Education Taxes

First-Day-of-School6 — Atlantic Express, the company that transports about half of the district’s school children, will not exist after the New Year.

Atlantic Express Transportation Corp., which has an office in New Brunswick, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. The company is offering itself up for sale, but, according to published reports, a two-day auction earlier this month resulted in no bidders for the company’s New Jersey routes.
