St Johns County parents lose bid to require student busing to school staugustine.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from staugustine.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The problem, parents say, is that some Liberty Pines Academy students who live in the subdivision walk or bike to and from the K-8 school along a walkway adjacent to the entrance ramp to State Road 9B where cars routinely race by at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour.
Under state law, students may not be bused if they live less than 2 miles from the school they are zoned for, so about 200 households have not received busing since the 2018-19 school year. Parents fought, unsuccessfully, for an exemption by the school district before the change was enacted at that time.
