Northwest Local Schools boy gets school bus stop closer to home

After weeks of waiting and unanswered phone calls, Reevie Bailey got good news Tuesday: A school bus will begin stopping outside her home, saving her partially deaf grandson from having to walk down a busy road alone to reach his bus. The Northwest Local Schools bus stop closest to Bailey's home isn't far for most -- five houses down a narrow stretch of Banning Road, she said -- but the distance became a significant obstacle for her 8-year-old grandson, Jeremiah, and his mother, who uses a wheelchair.
