[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our middle school is two miles down a hill from our house, and we don’t have a bus. We both work full time and school lets out at 2:30.  With the weather being nice, it’s not an issue but I’m seeing some difficult afternoons in our futures. We do have after school clubs starting next month, which will help, but not every day.

I feel like working families should be prioritized for transportation.  We had to certify we needed SACC in elementary school, why not this?  No car, or no adult available due to work schedule, you get a bus.  If not, walk.

Would also be open to paying a sliding scale fee for private transportation (like SACC). This problem needs some innovation to solve.[/quote]

Both you and your husband MUST leave for work before middle school car line drop-off at 7:00 am?  i find that implausible.[/quote]

It’s the after school pick up that is a problem, if you read my post.  [/quote]

Your kid can stay after for homework club or many of the other after school activities. Or they can walk. Or how about you prioritize your kid on inclement weather days.[/quote]

Ah yes, the bad parent award goes to me for *gasp* working provide food and a house for my kids.

Privilege really isn’t a good look on you. Some families work, some families don’t have drivers, and then some families prefer to go to Pilates.

I suggest a filtering.  Let the FCPS lawyers decide which families should be prioritized.  The bus and driver shortage isn’t getting better.[/quote]

With a shortage of teachers, bus, drivers, counselors, nurses, you really think getting lawyers involved is going to solve those problems. Your suggestion will literally make it worse.

By the way, your kid can miss homework club and take the regular bus home.[/quote]

We’re fine without counselors. The ones we had were pro-bullying. [/quote]
