In my town there are 5 public elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 high school
Almost 98% of students receive bus transportation (as does virtually every student in private schools in town).
We live on the same street as an elementary school, 3/10th of a mile away. Every student on our street except for those living in the same block as the school gets bus service.
WHY????? SAFETY…here in small town CT outside of the immediate town center there are no sidewalks and it is unsafe to walk. Public school rules do not permit students to ride their bikes to school for the same reason. Our taxpayers would rather pay more in taxes than endanger walking children
