Transportation no longer provided for some APS students

In 2012-13, Atlanta Public Schools who live out of zone and are not enrolled in a magnet program will no longer qualify for bus transportation.

Parents will be responsible for providing transportation for these students, according to the district. Info: www.atlanta.k12.ga.us
