Probably not my place because I'm Canadian but hope you all sign petitions to have free school buses for children! I can't believe parents have to pay for school buses. I realize it may not stop abductions but every little bit counts to keep our children safe. lease:
Public school buses ARE free in every state and district, some may require a small token amount from the parents but that amount in no way covers the actual yearly cost of the transportation for the students. I have lived in, attended, had kids in, and worked in numerous districts and NONE of them required any payment at all for bus transportation to public schools.
However, it wouldn't matter to any abductor whether the child rode a free bus or one that was parent subsidized. AND kids who live close to schools PREFER to to walk or be driven by parents for 5 or 10 minutes rather than ride a bus that meanders through numerous nearby neighborhoods for an hour or more before arriving at school.
