[quote=Anonymous]I realize your kid is not special ed, but transportation in special ed causes similar issues. There is no hard cut-off about how long a ride is too long before it causes failure to provide appropriate education to a special ed student, but in general the 1 hour mark is thought to be about the max (one way), based on this, 7:45 may be just cutting it close enough by MCPS standards. (I'm assuming the bus gets to school by 8:45 am). Nonetheless, calling to complain can't do any harm, especially if you get other parents together. The worst they can say is "no change". FWIW, this (bus routes that are adjusted so that the ride is longer) has also happened at our child's middle school magnet. I think it's short-sighted because it diminishes the diversity of students who can participate in these programs. [/quote]
