Should bus routes be eliminated?

Mark Stewart, director of administrative services for county schools, said bus drivers will no longer pick up students living within a 1.5-mile radius of the two middle schools and the high school unless they are disabled.
In past years, the district has offered what Stewart described as “courtesy stops” at outlying areas within the radius but those will be eliminated as a way to save $90,000 a year. He said five bus drivers lost their jobs as a result, according to the Times-Union.
Is it worth losing the stops in order to save money? In our opinion if the money goes right back to the education system than maybe, but we all know it probably won’t.
