A compromise response to a request to bus Bassett children to school was offered last night. A double route to permit picking up the children, some 27 in all, in the mornings can be fitted into the schedule. No feasible way to bus them the mile back in the afternoon could be worked out without buying another bus and hiring another driver. The trustees pointed out the district is not obligated to bus children who live less than 2.5 miles from an attendance center.
