Administrators at St. Paul Public Schools admit the district made a mistake when it stranded the kids at school Monday.
However, the district points out, that particular bus route serves one of three language academies. The one at Phalen Lake is for Hmong students learning English.The academies all have separate bus routes to keep its students together.The district decided to enforce the separate routes beginning Monday, but it did not tell the Armstrong family.
"It is our responsibility to ensure the safety of these kids and we made a mistake. The kids should have gotten home that day," Dayna Kennedy, a public relations representative said.
The district also discovered the Armstrongs no longer live in the Phalen Lake School boundary because they moved last year.
So even though the district apologized, if they want to still go to Phalen, they are going to have to get their own ride.

In actuality regardless of language they were not allowed to ride the bus. The school admitted the mistake and it's not the big deal the headline, nor you, made it out to be. The bus was made for certain students learning a certain language going to a certain school. Next time post the whole story Wolf. LOL
I posted what the news article said, and "It is our responsibility to ensure the safety of these kids and we made a mistake. The kids should have gotten home that day," Dayna Kennedy, a public relations representative said.
The district also discovered the Armstrongs no longer live in the Phalen Lake School boundary because they moved last year.
the school district still should have taken them home. those buses are paid for by whom. question now is was the parents notified of this at the begging or sometime before this happen, I know they moved since last year. so it should have be caught when the kids were signed up to ride.
