[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has special needs and is 13 and they will not allow someone younger than 18 to get her off the bus. I had no idea until I needed to have my 15yr get her off the bus in 6th grade and they wouldnt do it. Silly...he watcher her all the time, but cant walk her from the bus stop? Said I have to basically jump through all kinds of hoops in order for him to ever be able to do it.  [/quote] I had this issue with my 4th grade son.  We had been walkers, but with a sibling going via bus to another school, he was able to get permission to attend as well.  In any case, there was one day I did not get back in time for the bus.  I was surprised they did not drop them (3rd and 4th).  The bus driver was kind enough to circle back (I was literally 1 minute late).  I asked why she was not able to drop them.  She told me there was a note on his file that he was to be released only to a parent.  I had not requested that, but she said sometimes it is automatic (I mentioned his IEP).  I called transportation, who told me to call the school. In the end, the bus driver just asked me to write a note that he was allowed to be dropped off.  I usually am there, just because, but my kids can walk home for sure.[/quote]
