If commuter families become fed up with the ferry challenges and send their students elsewhere, that could cost Vashon Island schools millions in funding.
VASHON, Wash. — As Washington State Ferries continues to grapple with a staffing crisis causing delayed and canceled ferries around the Puget Sound area, families who live in West Seattle are feeling the burn just a month into the school year.
"It's a good fit for her. It's a smaller school... she likes art and they have a great art program," said Teresa Sorlie who is one of hundreds of commuter families. "The mornings haven't been as bad, it's the pick-up that's rough," she said as her 16-year-old student returns home after an even longer day of waiting. According to Vashon Island School District superintended Slade McSheehy, the 7:40 a.m. ferry, which the district adjusted school start times around, is late about 60% of the time.
There's a lot at risk if delayed ferries cause commuter families to no longer send their students to Vashon Island.
