[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get rid of buses and put the onus on parents to take personal responsibility for getting their kids to and from school. Problem solved, millions of $ saved.[/quote]

Our elementary school has over 900 kids. Not sure how they would manage the logistics of getting that many kids dropped off individually vs by bus. [/quote]

That's a problem FCPS caused themselves. No elementary should have 900 kids. There are many schools that are under 700 kids though that would work fine to just allow parents to drop off. I even think certain schools would be willing to drive their kids on snow days and forgo busses those days just to keep the schools open.[/quote]
[b]No school should be allowed the warehouse that many kids[/b].[/quote]

So what is the ideal size? And are wiling to pay for smaller schools? It's not enough to throw out statements about what you think is unacceptable. You have to be willing to pay for it. I'm willing to, but there are so many who are ready to weigh in about what schools should look like and then scream holy hell when ask to pay the taxes that support the schools. [/quote]
