Several years ago we passed a bond to build new schools in order to address the population growth here in Springdale. During that time we started to seeing where the growth was taking place. We built the schools, so what happened..No one took the time to see where the growth was taking place...so who has to pay now for the transportation... the kids. Come on, think before you act.

in the 70's I rode the bus from cave Springs to Bentonville. Of course I didn't walk five miles in the snow but when i turned 16 I worked, bought a car, and drove myself. At least we don't have to put them in trailers. I would hope growth to come to the east where it is needed. But you are right APBAKER we need more thought sometimes and make common sense decsions.
