[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, a 13 year old cannot cross the street by herself. Interesting. How is it suppose to work?  Are the bus operators required to drive down one side of the street and then make a u-turn and go down the other side of the street to pick up students. Children will live on both sides of a street.

As the PP said. There was supposed to be a school bus that picked her up at a bus stop on her side of the street. The driver of the school bus made a habit of not stopping at that school bus stop. So she crossed the street to go to the school bus stop on the other side.

Montgomery County's policy is that elementary school students do not cross "primary roadways" unless there is an adult crossing guard, and that middle and high school students do not cross unless there is a controlled intersection. So yes, there are school bus routes where the bus picks up at stops on one side of the road, then turns and picks up at stops on the other side. I don't know what PG County's policy is on roads students are and are not expected to cross.[/quote]
