Oregon Hill, in recent years, has grown its younger population- more households have had babies, and more families with children have moved into the neighborhood. It’s been a welcome trend and it speaks to the ‘good bones’ of this historic, urban enclave.
That said, Oregon Hill parents are concerned about the lack of transportation options for getting their children to school, and feel like the public system should be doing more.
“RPS school bus schedules are out. Not a single bus stop in Oregon Hill! It is like we don’t even exist,” is one message that was sent.
Of course, as the pandemic continues, many localities are dealing with a shortage of school bus drivers, and other resource problems, and many are wondering if virus variants of COVID-19 will lead to the schools closing again anyway.
After bringing this to the attention, they added one elementary school bus stop in Oregon Hill
School bus update – first day of school. The elementary school bus never showed, leaving several Oregon Hill kids stranded. Close to two hours later, promised replacement bus has not shown up.
School bus for Middle school was originally scheduled for Idlewood and Randolph on the website, after a very long wait on the phone with transportation we were able to get the bus stop back to be Idlewood & Cherry
