Problems with the school bus... and I blame the taxpayers for this one!

That's what I'm wondering too. Why are buses even attempting to pick kids up who live so close? I had never heard of a school bus system that was willing to pick up children who live within 1/2mile of a school (usually the radius extends a mile). And how can it possibly be cost effective for a non rural school district to own their own buses & employ drivers. I would guess there are other irresponsible spending decisions going on throughout this particular school district also.

Personally, my children will never ride in a school bus. Without overcrowding they appear rediculiously unsafe to me.
