I have an 18 month old and when he goes to school I'll need care for him before and after so he would need to be picked up from daycare.

This is not equality for all incomes. We need to support all those that need bussing for school. It is a hardship, no parent should have to change jobs to put their child on the bus

This would have been a big help when my kids were in daycare. The transportation policy hinders the entire system, this simply adds another roadblock that needs to be figured out and many jobs are not accommodating to leave many times in a day. Many days my children sat alone at school, waiting for a van to return to pick them up because there were so many kids in the daycare. The van made two trips often leaving many kids alone. This is unacceptable! Same with storm day attendance policies!

Families with little ones need all the help they can get! What is one or two more stops to pick up a few children. Women and their children are important to me.

This is super important because it helps parents that have to both work due to the cost of living right now. We should be making it easier for parents not harder

I’m signing this petition because the school board doesn’t believe they should pick up children from a daycare because it is not their home residence while parents think they should me being one of them cause it only helps us be able to work and for our children to get to school and have the opportunity of that and our daycare’s are our children’s second home

This would have helped us immensely when my kids were young. Not having this hinders other parents from being able to work. This is a small change that would help sooo many parents in our area.

Everything is so expensive that both parents need to work!

A residence-only transportation policy warrants review through a human-rights and substantive-equality lens. A facially neutral policy may create an adverse and disproportionate impact based on family status where parents have bona fide childcare obligations arising from employment. Where an alternative daycare stop can be accommodated safely and without undue hardship, an inflexible refusal raises legitimate questions regarding the duty to reasonably accommodate under Manitoba’s Human Rights Co

It's important that all children have access to school, regardless of where they need to be picked up.

As a single parent who relied on daycare to provide for my kids, this would have been an impossible situation to navigate. I feel terrible for families affected by this baffling policy.

Most families require 2 incomes to make ends meet. In rural communities this often means a commute of some kind. If you’re lucky enough to find daycare in these small towns, access to school bus transportation should not be a hurdle to a secure and safe daycare spot, the opportunity to provide for your family, or the opportunity for your child to attend school in their home community. PLPSD suggesting that parents move their children to city schools is the opposite of family focused care.
To support bus pick up at daycare.
