Students Deprived of Busses

Right now every student in the red clay school district has the option to take the bus to school. Starting next year this will be no more. The district has decided that there will be no busses to students in red clay who don’t have their school as a feeder pattern. Cab Calloway School of the Arts and Conrad will not be affected by this new rule because they are 100% choice. But any other school IN the Red Clay district will be. They say this will cut costs but still have not told us how. I think it is crucial for every student to have bus transportation! Some Parents (including mine) both have to go to work when I need to leave to go to school. There work is on one side of town and school is at the other. There is no plausible way for them to take me to school. So I rely on the bus. I am not affected for I go to Cab. But for high school I really don’t have a choice but to stay at cab if this goes through. My neighborhood is right in the center of the red clay district. But my development doesn’t have a feeder pattern for high school. We have to choice for high school! So even though I’m in the red clay district and I go to a Red clay school but because I have to choice for high school means I don’t get transportation? That’s not right. The District is trying to keep this on the DL (down Low) for they know this will cause a “riot” amongst parents. Not only will tons of kids have no transportation look at all the bus drivers! There must be tons that will now be out of work! It isn’t fair to them either! Plus, all the extra cars on the roads is bad for traffic problems, global warming, gas depletion, and could be a financial hardship for families. I think that even though we are 100% choice I think we should start getting the word out. What about all the kids in the neighborhood? Have you ever wanted your kid to go to the same high school you went to? Well that might not happen if you have to choice next school year! We need to get the word out now. If the district is deciding to do this without telling anyone then they must know it’s not right! So lets give them a riot. There asking for it! There are a lot of meetings and protests and such going on. Try to go to them. Or write a letter to Andrejeski personally. Tell your brothers your sisters your family and friends. If we all band together we can stop this. I don’t know how ANY tax paying parent could be for this!
