Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Superintendent of Schools Mary Skipper announced a number of changes Thursday with the release of an independent review of school bus safety in the city.

The entire report can be found on the City of Boston's website.
Joseph, a student at UP Academy in Dorchester, was hit by a bus on Washington Street on April 28. His uncle told WBZ-TV that he was trying to cross the road after being dropped off by the school bus.
"The city of Boston will do everything in our power to make sure that every child is safe in our city. And that every Boston family is confident that their children will be safe at school a
