We were a pretty rural district, so the main determinant was whether the buses could make the rounds on the country roads. - Mony Baroney Feb 1, 07:57 5
- the county roads were our determinant as well - as a kid, I felt the bus drivers were way too competent -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 08:01
- For us, we were a rural school in a suburban district so as long as the suburbs cleared the streets, we had school. - spamlet Feb 1, 07:58 3
  - some of the farm kids had to walk a fair bit to alternate pick up points, but by gosh, we were going to have school -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 08:08 2
    - My wife also grew up in a rural area and they had formal snow routes where kids had to get to the blacktop to get picked up. -- nm - spamlet Feb 1, 08:18
