[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me understand the issue. If you live far enough away from your home high school (the one you’re zoned for) to get bus service from your neighborhood to your home school, will that bus get you to your home school in time for you to catch a bus from your home school to your regional special program? Or is the issue that the buses to regional special programs leave home schools early enough that your neighborhood bus won’t get you to your home school in time?

If you live too close to your home school to qualify for busing from your neighborhood to your home school, then the burden was already on you to come up with your own transportation to your home school, so there’s no difference between getting yourself there to attend that home school versus getting yourself there to catch a bus to your regional special program.

Currently, how many locations do high school magnet buses depart from besides home high schools?[/quote]

The regional program buses are going to have to leave the local high schools and head to the regional programs before 7 to make it there in time in most cases, unless the schools are really close together..  Regular neighborhood buses don't usually get to high schools until well after 7, often more like 7:20.  So no, it would not work to transfer.buses at the local HS. [/quote]
