The appeal must be sustained in part. In the Fall of 1998, petitioner's daughter was a sixth grade student at respondent's middle school. Pursuant to respondent's transportation policy, students in grades four through six are eligible to receive transportation to and from school if they live at least mile from the school they legally attend.
Petitioner lives less than mile from respondent's middle school.
In early September 1998, petitioner requested that the district provide transportation for Sharon, from the home of a child care provider to school in the morning, and from school to the child care provider's home after school. According to petitioner, the child care provider resides in the district, more than one mile from the middle school. This appeal ensued. Petitioner's request for interim relief was denied on November 25, 1998. Petitioner contends that the family work schedules require that a child care provider take care of Sharon before and after school.
