Should the school district, facing budget cuts, charge full
freight for school bus service next year?
THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
Will you shop locally more this Christmas season, or spend just as much out of town as you usually would?
Yes: 4 No: 6
â– No – I would guess that the majority of the kids taking the bus don’t have a choice. To avoid cutting critical programs and teaching positions, I would look to cutting GUSD administrative staff and/or across-the-board salary reductions. Our educators can use less unnecessary management!
â– YES! Enough freebie services the taxpayers dole out. Maybe this will motivate many parents to make sure their kids go to school! n This is very difficult! I want to say yes but just don’t feel right about it. I would say No but they should charge a partial.
â– No. Many kids rely on the school bus and they would not be able to pay.
â– Yes. Back in the day, we implemented magnet schools for voluntary ethnic balance. The integration funds were supposed to pay for transportation. Now, we’ve gone back to neighborhood schools, no integration funds, and still busses are expected?
