One way to reduce the costs of busing kids to school would be to encourage more
kids to walk or bike to school. Some districts have organized groups of kids to
walk to school together as a way to make it safe and enjoyable.

Doing this would not only save the SPPS money but would also foster healthy
behavior. So, tell me why this couldn't work in St. Paul. Or tell me that the
district is, in fact, doing this already.
