Terry, you’ll want to talk to Patricia Stevens, who is SCS’s “bus coordinator” (I think that’s her title; she sits at the first desk on the left in SCS’s office). She is the person who doles out bus slips and makes sure everyone is where they are supposed to be. As long as she’s still there, which I’m fairly sure she is.

re: the bus rules.

I too am surprised that this was a “policy”.

It does not give much leeway for parents who work later than the schools dismiss and scramble for a babysitter.

In Webatuck, we can have the child switch to any bus as long as the parents send in a note telling them where the are to go and WHO will be there to get them off the bus.

Amy,

That’s very interesting. I wonder if the policy was changed this year and then back, or whether, as you suggest, it was not enforced during the time you drove. I will look into it.

Jenny,

Good luck with the show. I mentioned it this morning on Marshall & Mike.

Don’t forget the big story last week, and little blurb this week, about my photo show at Sharon Historical Society! The opening is Saturday at 4pm and all your readers are invited!

As a former bus driver for Salisbury Central School, this policy is news to me. (I drove from December 2005 through June 2007.) Drivers were told that students could ride any bus as long as they had a note from the school that detailed where they were to get off and for how long (one day only, all week, etc.). It seems like this was a policy that was never enforced.
