Question I can't answer

When we write about the local market and the lifestyle here, we often blog about what's happening with the schools. I'm no exception, and have blogged about our Pinellas County schools as well.

Sometimes our readers think we have all the answers.  Today I received this e-mail:

My son attends Pinellas Park High School and will continue for the next two years as I was told he will be grandfathered in since are area's zoned high school has changed. What I would like to be assured is that he will continue to be able to catch a bus to and from school.

Sorry, I can't give that assurance. I directed the writer to the Pinellas County Schools site and suggested she discuss her concern with them.
