School Bus Rule Sparks Local Opposition
Parents within two miles of schools resist a ruling that bans busing for nearby children. The State School Commission says the law prohibits hauling those residents this year, while others call it a cost measure. Buses must run within a mile and a half of nearby homes, forcing some pupils to walk. Some critics note parents once walked long distances for schooling. The dispute centers on the regulation rather than broader rules.
