It's a new school and a new problem The buses. Its great they created an inlet for the buses IF the buses would adhere to that only. What they are doing is double parking blocking up the entire lane. Some cars have gone into the oncoming traffic lane to go around the buses. The buses, when double parked and not all the way over to the curb, completely block up traffic behind them all the way down Fountain to Whalley and prevent Barnette and McKinley traffic from making a lefthand turn. Solution? Remove the islands to widen the road for cars to continue flowing and enforce rules on the buses from double parking.

Another NIGHTMARE morning...getting through this area is IMPOSSIBLE at 9am! What happens? People reroute into the neighborhood, at high speeds and running stop signs to go around this disaster putting MORE people at risk.
DO SOMETHING before a pedestrian gets run down or a car accident happens!

You are completely missing the point. This isnt about "one" bus and the issue of trying to pass it...its the fact that its a ROW of buses that tie up traffic for a LONG period of time then just a pick-up or drop-off on a major vein of traffic. All of the buses cant even fit in the small area so they get backed up and stall traffic while they weight for the front buses to move on.
The solution? Remove the islands between the two traffic veins and install one between traffic-up-Fountain and where the buses would pull over to deposit the children.
This will keep the kids safe - considering they get off the same side of the bus that they directly enter the school and allow business traffic to continue to flow.
I live in this area myself and I have to drive all the way down and around just to avoid this cluster-heck-hole. Which, come to think of it, how smart is that to encourage major traffic to reroute into a neighborhood instead of using Fountain?
Who ever designed this building really didn't think things through at all...the best solution would have been to deposit the children in the BACK of the school. But alas, this is what we are left to deal with...a dangerous mess.
