The Nov. 7 editorial, “Defying tradition: School bus rides — Do they really have to be granted to so many students?” reminds me of a comment many years ago by Leonard Wollan who was superintendent for the Laurel, Mont., school district. He told me, “We are going to vote on a bond issue to build a new gymnasium so the kids can get the exercise that they no longer get because we approved an earlier bond issue to buy new buses so the kids would not have to walk to school.”
