A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities (当局) in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.
Until now the County Council has only been prepared to provide bus service for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport, they will be prepared to go ahead, provided that the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it won’t undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back.
Between 50 and 60 parents would like their children to take part and a Council official has said the cost to parents should be less than £ 6.50 a term.
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children living further away to Impington, The same bus would now just make an’ extra journey to pick up the. Milton children.
The official said they would connect with other groups of parents who had once asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they’d like to take part in the new plan.
