One of the only mistakes we made when moving to Florida was picking the Desoto County school district. My kids and I have been charged at by off leash dogs at the bus stop twice now and they refuse to move the bus stop 50 yards ahead to a safer area. Worse than this I have a medical diagnosis that prevents me from safely driving, the bus driver left my young child at the school and then berated me because I didn’t have a way to pick him up. Another teacher said right in front of one of my children that I “look like I’m in drugs”. When really I’m just being discriminated against for my disability and when I ask politely for accommodations for my disability in transporting the kids I am further ridiculed and no attempts are made. They fail to see they are no “punishing” me but they are hurting my kids ability to experience after school programs. It should always be about the kids and their safety. At Desoto County schools it appears to be more about passing split second judgements and ridicule than helping families.

"Bordering Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, Lake Suzy is actually in Desoto County, which means lower taxes. Also, no flood insurance is required, due to higher elevation. Homes are beautifully maintained and it is close to everything, including beaches. The Arcadia zip code is misleading, because it a half hour away from Arcadia. It borders Punta Gorda's Deep Creek area, North Port and Port Charlotte. Since it is geographically midway between Fort Myers & Sarasota, a quick zip on I75 will get you to either city. "
