I read in the paper about a family whose kids in the Daniel Boone School district have to walk 8/10ths of a mile on a narrow tree and bush lined road with traffic to get to the bus. Superintendent Robinson said that is just the way it is and they are not required to provide bussing; it is the parent’s responsibility to get kids to school. He declined allowing the bus to go up the road and then back in because of safety issues.
Ok, maybe the district is not responsible and the parents have to get their kids to school. But if they can’t and they walk the dangerous road to the bus stop and something happens……
I do not have all the facts but from what I read it seems the bus should serve the kids. I would not want to be blamed for an accident I could have prevented.
Maybe it is less unsafe for the bus to back in. If the facts are available to make the decision, why not share them with the public to help us understand why decisions are made?
