In the Allentown Morning Call, Margie Peterson writes about the situation:
"Salisbury Township School District consists of two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school. But it buses students to 46 schools.
Parkland School District has 11 schools of its own and transports children to 56 schools. That number has grown by 11 schools in the last 18 months.
By Pennsylvania law, public school districts that bus their own students are required to transport students to charter and private schools that are up to 10 miles outside of a district's borders."
