Just to address the issue of bus service for a moment if I may: The BBP school district absolutely has bus service. Any one who has EVER said that is mistaken. Most districts on Long Island have provisions for allowing bus service for distances closer than the state minimum for distance to school. BBP did not until this year. 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
