With a district extending over five communities, buses are the main source of transportation to school. David Griffith, for example, lives on the northern district border line, 23 miles from school. By the end of six years David had ridden the bus 46,440 miles or enough to go around the world 1% times. Plus, he’s spent 844 hours or approximately 35 days of his life riding a bus. Many students like Jim Kaegel find themselves waiting 15 minutes after school for their bus. Jim and others like him have spent seven days of their high school ca- reers waiting for a homeward-bound bus. Sitting at transfer points, arriving late, and waiting for broken down buses to be repaired steal even more of a stu- dent’s time.
