Its registration season season now and parents are applying to schools.
What used to be a non issue is now a major factor for parents deciding on where to send their kids to school in Lakewood. Since not all schools have busing, parents are applying to the schools that do have. The Larger schools in particular have busing since they got the first bids from the LSTA. The smaller schools are no guarantee to have busing many still dont. Some schools arranged private transportation or parents are car pooling, but in general its the smaller schools that will have a harder time with applications do to the lack of busing. For those living in Jackson its a headache too and people might start looking at distance when choosing a school.
