[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fcps provides by service if you live more than a mile from school or on a dangerous walk route. I think that's reasonable.[/quote]

no.  It is a mile and a half (for middle and high school) and even if there aren't sidewalks -- too bad.  We almost bought a house that was over a mile to the MS, no sidewalks, dark for much of the school year at 7:00 a.m. (when 12 yr old would have to walk there) -- we cancelled the contract in large part b/c of the lack of busing.

I have friends in Va. Beach district and they live 1.5 BLOCKS from their middle school --they wanted to walk and were told they were not allowed to walk -- had to ride the bus b/c there weren't sidewalks for that 1.5 blocks!

In LCPS, elementary gets busing if it is more than 1/2 mi.  In high school it is .8 mi.  [/quote]

Why couldn't you drive your 12 yo that whole dark mile? I don't think this is a big deal.[/quote]

not doing it for four years -- no way.  I like my kids to be independent and I don't want the obligation to HAVE to drive my kid to school when there should be a bus.  [/quote]
