The move also raised red flags about safety. Ellisha Champine was sent home after the school busses had already left. No arrangements were made for her transportation through the district. “To find out it was $35, and they couldn’t make arrangements with me or contact me without throwing her out of school, I got really upset,” said Sandra Pennington, Champine’s mother.

No doubt it's true -my daughter (theoretically) also has to take the AATA bus home at the end of the regular school day and she's 13.

So, the mother has her head so far in the ground she doesn't know that AAPS no longer busses all high school students home at the end of their regular school day? (Part of this year's budget cuts). Many students are required to use AATA buses. I do not think her daughter is at all as high on her priority list as she makes out, otherwise she'd already have raised this concern, no? And given that the girl knew how to get home, I doubt this is the first time she's been out on her own. And a 16yo taking an AATA bus in the middle of the day is hardly a safety issue. Living in Hikone is, though.

Strikes me this is a clusterfuck of attention hos and professional victims.
