Hey everyone... I am starting this petition as a concerned parent of the Massillon City school system. Did you know that the Massillon bus garage buses kids from Massillon JR High/Intermediate school, Franklin Elementary, and Gorrell Elementary to the Massillon Boys and Girls Club? But not the kids of Whittier Elementary. I have looked up each location via Mapquest and have found that from Massillon JR High/Intermediate it is only 2.09 miles, from Franklin Elementary it is only 1.57 miles, and from Gorrell Elementary it ranges between 2.05-2.16 depending on which route is taken. In order to go from Whittier Elementary to the Boys and Girls club it is only 3.06 miles; which is only about a mile difference!
I do not feel that our children from Whittier should be punished by living one mile too far! Why can they not receive the same treatment as the other children in the community? The Boys and Girls Club is a great place for kids to interact, make new friends, participate in events, learn responsibilities and have fun.
Please help support this petition in hopes that a bus will be provided for our Whittier children to have the same opportunities as all of the other children at the other Massillon schools.
Thank you!

I have finalized a formal request for the Massillon school district transportation department to review their current busing routes. We are waiting for a response regarding why Whittier students are excluded from this service while other schools receive transport. I will post the official reasoning provided by the district as soon as I receive it.

My daughter goes to whittier and I struggle finding a ride for her every single day. just add the stop already its not that hard
Please help the working parents by making sure their children are bussed to a safe place!!!!
Hoping this petition makes a difference! My son is also a Whittier student and I work..he's really hoping to go after school!
It is silly that they don't bus from just the one school. My sons go to Whittier and they're boys/girls club members.
I totally agree with this petition! My son would love to be able to go there after school!

WHY ARE THE WHITTIER KIDS LEFT OUT??? Makes no sense to skip one school when the bus is already driving right past it.
