A new policy at West Central Valley schools disallows students from being able to ride home on a different bus other than their assigned one. District superintendent Dr. David Arnold says it’s a safety issue to not let kids get on a different bus to go to a friend’s or relative’s house, “we’re now going to be denying those requests, because we just can’t put kids on the bus in an unsafe manner.” Arnold says parents can call him with any questions at his office at 789-4480.
