We are concerned Charlestown parents of first and second year students of the Boston Latin School. We have recently been notified that school bus service to and from the Boston Latin School from Charlestown has been discontinued for the 2017/18 school year.

We are responding with this petition in order to urgently appeal to you to immediately reinstate this service. We do not feel it safe or appropriate for 12- and 13-year old children to have to navigate the MBTA public subway system to get to and from school each day. Some of us are working parents with more than one child who worry that we will be unable to have our children attend this outstanding educational institution solely due to transportation concerns. We are all taxpayers who love and support our public school system. Please help us!

Thank you.
