Wow that surpises me. I think each district has different rules but I would keep talking to the trasportation department. My daughter started school this year. The stop they set up for her was on another block with railroad tracks inbetween. I kept calling and got a new stop but that one was still out of my site. Long story short I got them to add a stop that I could watch my daughter from my windows.
I had to keep calling and plead my case it took well over two weeks. I drove her to school until it was fixed.
good luck
