PLAN REROUTING
OF SCHOOL BUS
ROUTES IN STATE
?
Walking Distance To Bus
and School Reduced
By Half Mile
?
the IV.I5 general assembly imieas
ed llif cost of transporting children
l? and from school by about $250,000
a year when it shortened the walking
distance to hus lines to only one mile
and to school to a inile and a half
Formerly children were required to
walk to bus lines if they lived with
in a mile and half, and had to walk
to school if they lived within two
miles of the school. Hut this change J
-of ?uly.-a_haif a mile in the. walking I
distance to bus lines and to schools
would mean an increase in the coat of
transportation of at least $250,000 a
year on last year's basis of operations.
Hut tin 1>JS general assembly also
changed the law with regard to the
routing of school busses, giving the
School Commission authority to fia
bus routes and taking this authority
out of the hands of the local school
officials. As a result, Cluade F. Cad
dy, head of the transportation division
of the State School Commission, is
hoping that bus routes ran be chang
ed, shortened and trimmed so that
the cost of operation can he reduced
enough to absorb the additional cost
involved by the change in the walk
ing distance to bus lines and schools.
Already the School Commission has
15 men at work in as many counties,
checking over the old school bus
routes and making changes. Under
the new law, county lines will be ig
nored and children will be rtansport
rd to the nearest schools, regardless
of what county these childrys.<-!*i,
school* may be in, Uncle rCTti old
law, the local school authorities were
supposed to make many of these
changes, but the pressure of local
politics and from school patrons were
said have proved so strong that in
most of the counties the rerouting of
vchooT busses was virtually ignored.
But now that the School Commission
"s going to do the job, with the local
school authorities having little to say
about it, indications are that the bus
routes are actually goingTcTSe^lSSg
ed both to reduce mileage and gaso
line consumption as well as to secure
greater afficiency for the schools, so
say reports coming from Raleigh.
Just how the re-routing of the bus
routes will affect the attendance upon
Martin Schools is not known, but it
t? possible that a few on the borders
will be diverted to schools in other
counties.
1 he bus routings have been kept
"P to daw i? this county, and little
improvement can be made over the
present system, it is believed.
