Bus overcrowding

With the weather being nice, it’s not an issue but I’m seeing some difficult afternoons in our futures. We do have after school clubs starting next month, which will help, but not every day.

I feel like working families should be prioritized for transportation. We had to certify we needed SACC in elementary school, why not this? No car, or no adult available due to work schedule, you get a bus. If not, walk.

Would also be open to paying a sliding scale fee for private transportation (like SACC). This problem needs some innovation to solve.

You must be less than a mile and a half from the school if you don't have bus. Your solution is a coat and umbrella for your kid instead of trying to change the rules at the expense of people who made different choices from you.

Not true. It’s 2 miles. There are not enough busses.

There are plenty of buses for the kids who live outside the walk zone. If you are 2 miles from the school, then they made a mistake and you need to call the transportation office.

I expect I’ll hear back from them… next year?? It’s a cluster. But thanks.

Well, with that attitude, nothing’s gonna change.

My attitude isn’t keeping them from getting back to me. I have reached out. If this gets resolved I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Apparently my neighbors have been asking for years and have resorted to requesting waivers to get assigned to the bus that stops across from our neighborhood on the main road.
