A new transportation policy in Petaluma City Schools is causing problems for student athletes. The policy restricts driving and carpools for out-of-town games, making it hard for teams to participate. After community outcry, the school board is reviewing the policy and seeking input from coaches. The district has allocated $40,000 per school for bus transportation, but coaches say it’s not enough. Trustees are considering a per-team trip limit instead. Parents and coaches are worried about the impact on student athletes’ opportunities.
