Bus Stop Change ??

In the meantime, just before Christmas Break they did finally change Katie's bus stop.  She was reassigned to a door connected to our own building, but equally inaccessible and impractical for someone like Katie.  The new location required her to go down our hall and take stairs to the first floor, passing through 3 heavy fire doors to reach a locked door to the pool area, where she had to walk around the edge of the pool to another fire door on the opposite side and go all the way down another hall, through 2 more heavy fire doors. 

This certainly did not seem like a safe alternative to me!  To begin with, Katie still, a year later, has great difficulty opening the heavy fire doors separating hallways.  Secondly, the maze of blank hallways and doors this required her to navigate would have had her lost in no time if she tried it on her own, and walking around the edge of the pool every morning and afternoon!??!  Seriously?  I walked it with her for the last week before Winter Break, and I guess it was better than scraping windows to drive her 1/2 a mile, but honestly was this really the best the district could do?
