Since the appeals concern the same issues of law and fact, they are consolidated for decision. The appeals must be dismissed.
Petitioners reside in respondent's district.
Three petitioners have children who will attend PDS beginning in the fall of 2000. All petitioners concede that the distance from their respective homes to PDS exceeds 15 miles. The mileage distances between the homes and school range from 16.5 to 23 miles. Respondent explained that it had been erroneously transporting students to PDS for the last several years because it was unaware that the school had moved to a new location that placed it beyond the 15-mile statutory limitation from each petitioner's home. However, respondent agreed to continue providing transportation for petitioners' children to PDS for the remainder of the 1999-2000 school year.
