Parents, and grandparents of Anderson County,  are being forced to undergo an unnecessary burden. The local school system has a section in their student hand book that they believe allows them the authority to prevent a student from exiting the bus at their home. 

The text from the Anderson county school system student Handbook 2025-26, states ''Elementary Students (K-3) will only be allowed to exit the bus at home, providing evidence of the presence of an adult
caretaker at the residence.'' The plane text of this ''handbook'' does not require an adult to be present. The school system is choosing to interpret this as requiring an adult physically stand at the bus stop, i.e. at the end of their driveway. Regardless of the burden this may cause to the older grand parents, disabled parents, or those who work at night and may be asleep, if an adult is not present, the student will be taken back to the school, regardless of your documented wishes. 

School systems often think that they are the final authority over "your" child just because they are enrolled. Even after written and verbal notice withdrawing consent for participation in a given practice, the school still does whatever they want.  

This petition demands the school release a student if written permission to do so, and waiving liability, has been presented to the office.
