South Durham Prepares for School Transportation Changes

Rotational bus coverage is expected to roll to a stop at the end of this week. After the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, Durham Public Schools tries the next experiment: family responsibility zones. Some families at 21 elementary schools – including Hope Valley, Parkwood, Pearsontown, and Southwest – must adjust to having no bus service by default. Instead, they’ll have to drive children to school, let them walk, or let them ride bikes.

Get the rundown in the latest SoDu We Like Local News? podcast and, if you’re in the zone at Hope Valley, plan to attend the town hall meeting in the media center on Jan. 14 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
