My sister in neighboring Arkansas lives a 15 minute walk (3/4 mile) to her son's elementary school, but they have a similar policy and banned my sister and her husband from walking their son to school.
I live in Seattle now, and the elementary schools here have a 1 mile walk boundary before they will bus you. About 1/3 of students in Seattle walk or bike to school.
- taylodl 4y agoWow! My town has a 2 mile walk boundary before they will bus you and I live in the U.S. Midwest where winters can be brutal! As a result many kids ride their bikes to school. In my neighborhood elementary school kids and middle school kids are crossing 4 lane roads to get to school. The elementary school has a stoplight, so that helps, but the middle school does not. I'm amazed no one has ever been hurt!
