Fix bus routes now

I think out-of-town children are picked up too early and dropped off too late by our school district's busing system. I know this has been a sore topic for many years, and since Kempner has finally been promised a new school, the inadequate transportation has not been an issue this year. But we still have the rest of this school year and all of next year before the new school is scheduled to be finished.

I feel the solution is simple: Why not use some of the bond money now to purchase new or used buses, hire more bus drivers and make more bus routes? I say these three things are a simple solution; maybe not cheap but simple.

We have the bond money, and I'm hoping these three things are being planned on for when our new school is built, so why not do it now? That way when the Kempner school is built, the district already will have the extra buses and bus drivers needed to accommodate it.
