DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) — Some Deptford Township parents are upset over the district's decision to cut free bus services for students this school year.

Kelly Harvey says her 9-year-old son could be among a number of Deptford school kids who now have to walk to school after the district announced the changes.

"We're kind of left scrambling to figure out, are we driving our kids to school, are they walking and how are we going to get them there," Harvey said. "And with just these three weeks left before school is supposed to start, I think we are just all really shocked by this."
