It isn't often that the Mt. Lebanon School District can claim that it's saving money but Steve and I couldn't help but wonder how much the District is saving by not busing in light of the recent gas price increases. Not only will our son be using sneaker power to transport himself to Lincoln this fall, but I'm contemplating the possibility of walking my daughter to Beth El Nursery School, too. The only drawback is the lack of sidewalks along Cochran. Hhhmmm...maybe it's time to get the old bike tires repaired and find her helmet for the baby seat.
I haven't had time to do any research but it would be interesting to take a look at other school districts' transportation budgets to see how much they spend in busing vs. projected increases based on rising gas prices. The thought of it makes my old bike look so much more attractive.

You make a good point here. I bet that the cost of bussing kids to schools is going to force cutbacks for a lot of districts this fall, since they probably won't be able to increase tax revenue in time.
