| Extra Work | School Bus Project | An Idea I have. more
My local school district has no way of digitally determining if a student is elegible for transportation to school. Currently only a few schools offer busing, with the critera that a student must live more than 2 miles from school. My web app idea is that this from will be used to drop a pin on a map showing the schools location and a shaded 2 mile radius. More research is needed to figure out how to drop a pin on a map. |
