ATLANTA -- Concerned parents in Vine City unveiled some of the signs they plan to protest with before the Atlanta Public School Board meeting Monday night.

Where's The Bus, Mommy?

The Bus Stops Here, Erroll.

Erroll, Get On The Bus.

Those last two are written specifically to APS Superintendent Erroll Davis.

As part of this year's resdistricting, the system is now enforcing a long-standing rule on the books that elementary school kids who live within a mile of their school will be walking. The distance increases to a mile and a half each way for middle schoolers and high schoolers.

Parents in Vine City object on several fronts.

Sharon Banks is a single mother with 6-year-old twins and an 8-year-old daughter. 

"I work.  Last year, I would drop my daughter off at the bus stop, but two miles a day is just too far to let my kids walk alone. Especially in this neighborhood," Banks said.
