BusingFrom the St. Petersburg (FL) Times:
Posted by Jeff at February 26, 2003 11:41 AM | Link CosmosDuring the first year of school choice, hundreds of African-American children in St. Petersburg will be bused out of their neighborhoods, leaving behind new schools that are only two-thirds full.
Pinellas school officials acknowledged Tuesday they are limiting enrollment in several elementary schools, including the brand new Douglas Jamerson and James Sanderlin elementary schools in south Pinellas.
The reason, in part, is that not enough nonblack students want to attend schools in predominantly black neighborhoods.
That means hundreds of students who wanted to attend the two brand new schools -- as well as the rebuilt Campbell Park, Fairmount Park and Gulfport elementaries -- will be forced to choose another elementary school, even as their preferred classrooms sit empty.
QUESTION: How could I find out if my son will be riding a bus to school, I have tried everything to find out this question. My son will be attending Bay Point Elementery at 5800 22nd St SO 33712 and we live off 18th Ave and 29th St So 33712. Would you be able to give me this information or know someone that could help me gather this information.
Thanks
