Students who live less than 1.5 miles from the school will no longer be able to ride the bus. New sidewalks were installed to provide a walkable route to Ridge View. Before the sidewalks were in place, the Richland School District Two was allowed by the State Department of Education to have an exception to the state law that prohibits bus stops within 1.5 miles of a school. That exception is no longer in place; and Ridge View families living in Waverly Place neighborhood and certain sections of the Autumn Glen neighborhood are affected by this change. These families will need to arrange of alternative modes of transportation to school such as walking, riding a bicycle, or becoming a car rider/driver. We apologize for any hardship that this may have cause you and your Ridge View Blazer. If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Myers (mmyers@richland2.org or 803.699.2999 ext. 84233) or Allen Upchurch (aupchurc@richland2.org or 803.699.2999 ext. 84234).
