I live in South Carolina. We do not have bussing here. We purchased our home specifically in an area where the schools have a good performance record. We specifically moved from the area we were renting in because our son had a problem with the gangs there. In this area, you can choose to apply to another school, however, you are then responsible for transportation.

I personally would be very upset if they suddenly came to me and told me that they were bussing my child to another school after I purchased a home in this area specifically for the schools here!
