A Wednesday story incorrectly quoted Bowling Green City Schools Transportation Director Toby Snow.

Snow said that if the district can find two more drivers it would be able to return to the 1-mile limit.

The hardship put on families with the move to the 2-mile radius for transportation was at the forefront of the executive session discussion.
