Walking Schools Buses - One School's Plan
This article is from the Queen Anne News. From the article:
"Lawton Walking School Buses, a program initiated this past spring, start up again with the resumption of school and will be "running" every Walking Wednesday and Fuel Free Friday throughout the school year.
The idea is that Lawton Elementary School families should consider this safe and health-enhancing alternative to driving to school. On each of the five routes (see below), students start out with a trained safety volunteer in the lead. All buses depart at 8:30 a.m., with an intermediate pickup point along the way."
Sounds like a good starting point.

Comments
Is this program funded by the state. I think it would be great if it were.
There's also a strong walking school bus program at Laurelhurst, with a volunteer mom who does presentations on how the program is sustained. Feet First could connect people to her.
I've never heard about bus counts being tied to school funding - what is that?
