Petitioner commenced this appeal on July 10, 1995. Petitioner alleges that the current pick-up point is unsafe and hazardous for his daughters. Petitioner also alleges that his daughters are not afforded the same transportation that is made available to other students in the district. Respondents contend that the appeal should be dismissed as untimely. In addition, respondents deny that the designated pick-up point is unsafe.
Respondents maintain that the designated pick-up point is in accordance with board policy.
Respondents also maintain that granting petitioner's request would result in additional cost to the district. Before reviewing the merits, I will address the procedural issue raised by respondents. In this case, it is not clear whether respondents ever notified petitioner of the board's March 22 decision and its effect on petitioner's request. Accordingly, I will not dismiss the appeal as untimely. The appeal, however, must be dismissed on the merits.
