Renee: Thanks for the comments you make based on your personal experience. I believe as you do. I am concerned at the amounts we pay in school transportation, and the fact that we may be able to make every school a great school and offer the same programs across the board, if the transportation costs in the district were less.
Your thoughts have been my thoughts for quite some time, but you cannot get the leadership in the district to even have a healthy and balanced discussion on the topic. I appreciate your contributions to the discussion.
