Schools consider bus partnership with Gainesville Connection
1013BUS1
A family walks along Rainey Street past a Gainesville Connection bus stop Friday on the way for ice cream. Gainesville attorney Ashley Bell has proposed that Gainesville Connection add another stop on the Gainesville High campus so students can participate in more extracurricular activities.
Ashley Bell wants to improve student achievement in Gainesville schools, and he thinks the local bus system can help. Bell, who is chairman of the school governance council for Gainesville High School, says too many students miss out on after-school tutoring opportunities because they don’t have transportation home. “All the school buses are gone by then,” he said.
