Chili, will your son have to be transferred? I know quite a few kids take the Hele-on bus from Puna into the Hilo schools (some probably have uncles, aunties & grand folks that live in town, as I have seen them for 2 school years, but I think that others were fininshing up the year last spring...). The closest stop for the early morning for you would be the Keaau stop, but the afternoon Kau bus goes up to town. There are at least 5-10 kids that get on the bus in the morning in Keaau, most dropped off. I do know that Connections has a bus that goes closer to your house. Congratulations on the progress. If you ever want to borrow Jims' point n shoot digital camera on your way up to the house to document the progress, without film expense, just stop on by (we are just down from the Puna Mission in downtown Keaau)(of course this is assuming he is working on/in the house....but you get the idea).
Aloha, Carey
