Due to the small size of the district most students did not live far enough away from the elementary schools they attend to make bussing mandatory. The district has also now passed a resolution in the past two budgets that allow for students who live within the state minimum to get busses.
As an aside, and I know this doesn't work for everyone, but the lack of busses I feel lends itself to making friends with the neighbors. We all drive out kids to school on any given day. It's kind of cool.


Not true, BBP just added the bus service a few years ago

Duh. At the time of my post, the vast majority of elementary school students in BPBP SD had to be driven or walked to school.
