To the Editor:
I am the grandmother and daycare of two children, enrolled at James K. Polk. I would like to know why there is not bus transportation for Polk students living on or close to Van Dorn Street. I have put five children through ACPS from kindergarten through 12th grade. I have also run the pick up line at St. Rita's for many years and been part of the pick up line at Queen of Apostles. I have never witnessed a more disorganized and careless (child safety-wise) method for school dismissal. I have spent a lot of time trying to find out who decided no buses was a good idea and, so far, have gotten no response. Particularly from the school principal. And the "must be more then 1 mile" for bus service is not followed. Ramsey students living on Armistead are .9 tenths of a mile from school and have bus service.
