All the buses in our school system run two loads but at different schools, so none of the children have to sit and wait an hour after school before leaving. Because of that, we have a lot of different schedules. My high schooler leavers at 6:50. School starts at 7:30 and ends at 2:30. If he rides the bus home, he gets there at 2:55. My fourth grader leaves home at 8:25. School starts at 9:50 and gets out at 3:05. He gets home around 3:30.
