The reason there isn’t enough parking is because of the increasing trend of helicopter parents dropping off and picking up their precious packages from school.
Interesting thought... I happen to drive my grand daughter to school because the bus comes between 6:30 and 7:15 in the morning and I wait for her at the bus stop which is not visible from the house and it arrives between 3:40 and 4:15 PM. Also the bus packs them in three students to the seat. K - 12th grade.
Such is life in a rural county. So if a parent wants to ‘waste’ their precious gas making sure that their kids get to school safely and then back home again. I have no problems with that at all.
The same was true for anyone who has ridden a bus to school in the last several decades.
You have your reasons, the next parent has their reasons, the result is what I described in my original post.
