I saw this in our local paper today and I'm wondering if any of you pay for busing the kids to school.

We pay $280 for the school year. We live less than 1 mile from home. However, it's much to far for our DS8 to walk.

No, but they are proposing it. Fortunately, my kids live within walking distance to the elementary school.

Many communities in our state pay for busses. Right now some of it is mandated by the state legislature, dependent on the geography (within 2 miles of the school) or age (high school).

There is a movement afoot in the legislature for all students to pay for bussing to school at an average cost of $200 per child.

We don't yet, but I've heard they're talking about it.

OMG!!! I have never heard of such a thing!! All the students that live 1 mile from school are able to ride the bus if they want to. That is for all the surrounding counties also.
