Gas prices are affecting schools

Latley many schools in CT are having to cut costs due to the gas prices.But where do you draw the line of saving money and child safety. Many schools are having to change bus routes, causing kids to have to walk farther to there bus stop. Many parents are starting to worry about there childrens saftey. One mother in Middle town is outraged that she cant even watch her kids get on the bus. When kids are young its hard to just let them walk so far to the buses. They are just cutting to many stops.And now the town of Middletown is setting up a petition to stop the school from changing the bus routes.Already in East Lyme they have cut 200 bus stops And who knows, soon this could effect our bus routes too.

well. in san diego, since i can remember, even in 1st grade, i'd walk down the street to get into my bus stop. when i moved to connecticut it was the weirdest thing to me that buses actually stopped at the person's house. though it may be a bit of an inconvenience, i believe it's better.
