Dean - I want to thank everyone that has participated. Your show of support.

I will try to fill in some of the pieces for Steve. A neighborhood school is ddefined as someone who chooses to live in it. It thrives by those that live there and attend the school.

People driving their children to school - some children ride the bus. I have 2 daughters that have attended school in Osseo. As parents, we decided they could walk or ride depending on weather and weight of backpack. We drive them because we have the ability and if they should arrive early, then they would stand out and wait.

Some of those schools have changed. That is why people will drive their children to school and concerned about safety and well being.
