Magnet Schools Attract Busing Woes

GREENSBORO — Winter in the Piedmont region of North Carolina presents challenges for school transportation officials, especially in Guilford County. The county is on the dividing line of many weather systems, so it’s hard to predict whether it will snow, sleet, or rain. Trying to decide whether the roads are safe to transport students to school is a difficult call. But this year, there have been many more difficult transportation decisions for Guilford County Schools. GCS has 26 magnet schools and is feeling the pinch as it deals with disproportionate increases in transportation costs for magnet programs.
