Idk, I live in one of those “progressive hellscape / nanny state” places they’re always on about … every kid is guaranteed access to school provided by the county / state.

Some students are in a walk” jurisdiction, they can only cross a single road with a crosswalk or are outside of it and MUST be offered transportation to school.

There is no “you’re too far away”, kids walk even in elementary school, and busses are provided for everyone else.
