School's Back... Hold On a Second!

For months, I had a cute piece of gnome artwork with a gnome teaching a couple of hedgehogs in a classroom setting.  It's been relegated to next year's school post. 

The short of it, the busing contract has been changed for the third time in four years, and this time might properly show the incompetence of the administration, beyond the acknowledged incompetence from the new bus company.  

Incomplete answers on staffing, on the criminal background of the general manager of the bus company, or the nearly criminial redrawn bus routes, which allows for five buses to be driving through the neighborhood to pick up fewer kids than one bus did last year....  and our kids will be ten minutes late because the route requires them to cross a bridge that is currently not open through September.

Brave the wilderness, children, we must find our own way to school.

EDIT:  Mere hours after I wrote this over the weekend, we received emergency Correspondence from the district pushing the official start date of school back to Tuesday after Labor Day.

Joy upon joys

At least my wife got same air time on one of the local televsion stations venting our displeasure with the whole affair.
