Monticello Live

A concerned parent recently addressed the Monticello School Board Tuesday evening about his concern that the current bus stop policy can sometimes create a safety risk for students who ride the school bus. The policy that is currently in use states that a school bus will not drive to a student’s home to pick up or drop off the child if the child lives less than one-fourth of a mile from the bus stop. The parent expressed concern that requiring a child to walk that distance to and from home on some of the remote rural roads in the county may place the child at excessive risk from traffic-related incidents, abduction, or any number of other situations that could arise. He asked the School Board to please keep that in mind when reviewing their policies.
