[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 425748, member: 6546"] Marg-- This used to be my first instinct, too... And then I learned that the SD's Transportation dept is a mess! Most of the buses are old...constantly breaking down. The routes are very long and winding...and then each driver does multiple routes. So any delay on the first trip will cause delays on subsequent trips. AND because the bus drivers and the transportation clerks are the same people (yes, you read that correctly)....there is no one to answer the phone at the transportation office until the drivers return to the office. Yes, you could try to ring the supervisor, but your call will have to wait until he is finished with his route. This is why only about 1/3 of the students even ride the bus. The rest either walk or get driven by parents. Why don't I drive difficult child? Because she doesn't come out of school any faster knowing I am sitting in my car waiting for her. Parents are NOT allowed to go into the school to "fetch" their children. And I have better things to do than sit in car-line for 45 minutes every afternoon. [/QUOTE]
