Actually this decision violates the Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA), the Rehabilitation Act (1973), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If not resolved prior, it will be resolved in court.
Back in the 80's the bus used to pick kids up only at the entrance to Eden Roc on the highway. Anyone who lives back there knows how far it is to walk out to the highway, much less a bunch of kids every morning and night. A bunch of us parents continually fought the DOE to get the kids picked up inside the sub-division, and they refused. We then told them we were going to sue the DOE if the practice didn't change using the above laws. They started picking kids up inside the sub-division 2 weeks later and still do. Hopefully they can again be reminded of the Federal laws they are violating.
