Carissa Malone · Answer 1

It is likely that the process brought up by Jonah's parents will not be successful.

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, the school established that transportation would be offered to children who lived at least a mile away from the school and who were a maximum of 12 years old. Jonah lives 2 km diastancia from the school (more than 1 mile) however, he is 13 years old. This means that Jonah does not meet the requirements established by the school to have access to the school bus, for this reason, it is likely that the lawsuit that his parents raised against the school will not be successful.
