Parents upset with school district rule regarding bus transportation

Parents in the neighborhood of Fairway Springs in Pasco County are upset that their children aren’t allowed to ride the bus to school anymore. The school district told them they live within two miles of their schools, but parents said those calculations are wrong. “I could not let my son cross 54 and Little Road, 10 or 12 lanes of traffic, one of the most dangerous roads here,” exclaimed Jailene Kelly, whose son will be attending J.W. Mitchell High School this year. A group of parents told ABC Action News that their children have been riding the bus to Seven Springs Middle School and J.W. Mitchell High School for years now, and even though they haven’t moved, the district now said they live too close.
