This reminds me of when Shining Celebi started Kindergarten. It took me forever to find out what school district we were in because no one with elementary children had ever lived in this house before. I finally found out (from a member of the School Board) that we were in the more desired "North" school district. So we registered at North, Shining Celebi meet his teacher and learned how to get to his classroom. The day before school started I got a call from the Supervisor of Busing, they didn't have room for him on the "North" bus, therefore he would have to go to East (a less desirable school, a school neither of us had laid eyes on and a hastily assigned teacher). Luckily the principal at North worked with me to get him on a bus to "North". But needles to say there was one upset Mother till his bus driver stopped on her way home that evening to tell me that he could ride her bus and not to worry about it, and introduced herself to Shining Celebi.
I honestly don't see a problem with them riding the bus, it obviously goes by their house.

A school bus driver let Rachel Armstrong's three children board the bus Monday morning, but he warned them that he wouldn't give them a ride home that afternoon, nor could they ever ride his route again. The problem: Armstrong's 10-year-old twin girls and 8-year-old son speak English. According to their mother, the driver told them the route had been designated for non-English speakers only. Armstrong said Wednesday that she got a call from a worried daughter who didn't know how she was going to get home. "She thought they had done something wrong," she said.

Kennedy said the breakdown happened when officials discovered the family lived outside of Phalen Lake's attendance area. The family moved last year. The plan had been to tell them they would not be legally eligible for bus service after the winter break."We made a mistake. The family was not properly notified," she said. Armstrong can keep sending her kids to Phalen Lake, but under regulations must provide their own transportation, Kennedy said.
