BSD Board weighs busing reach amid safety and cost
About 20 Crescent Boulevard and Jefferson Heights parents pressed the Bennington School District Board Monday night seeking bus service for their children.

The march toward broader busing could trigger demands districtwide, the board noted, as crossing routes without guards and sidewalks raise safety worries for kindergarteners and first graders alike.
