[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our MCPS school, the principal has advocated AGAINST additional police or crossing guards - on the basis that kids who live 2 blocks away are safer taking the bus!!! I don't understand it either. We now walk but have to traverse a dangerous busy intersection without a crossing guard.[/quote] PP, this is called "hazard busing". See here, for example: http://www.saferoutespartnership.org/state/bestpractices/schoolbuscuts I have heard that MCPS policy is that you can either get a school bus OR you get a crossing guard, but you can't get both; on the other hand, I have also heard of at least one school that got both. So maybe try again? Perhaps go around the principal to the school safety unit of the MC police. http://www6.montgomerycountymd.gov/poltmpl.asp?url=/content/pol/districts/chief/communityservices/SchoolSafetySection.asp [/quote]
