Busing Policy Changes Expected

Some changes to the Rainy River District School Board's busing policy could be forth coming.

The board's transportation committee conducted a review of the existing policy prior to the Christmas.

It's looking at, among other things, changes that addresses the busing needs of students in a joint custody situation, require a brief change to where they're picked up or dropped off or want a ride to work.

The review came after some parents expressed concerns the existing policy was not flexible enough.

The committee is expected to review the proposed changes again later this month.
