[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In reviewing the cooper amendment, why would the school board support providing transportation for 8th graders, but not provide transportation for 7th graders?  From a policy perspective, that makes no sense.  It almost seems outright mean to let some kids get on the bus, while other kids at the same bus stop cannot get on the bus.  [/quote]

My guess would be to discourage families from sending their 7th grade students to Kilmer. If someone is bent on sending their child to Kilmer, they will drive them or arrange a carpool.[/quote]

And that is how the school board makes public policy?  By trying to discourage parents from sending their children to a school by denying them transportation.  At my bus stop there are currently 4 children going to Kilmer -- 2 8th graders and 2 7th graders.  There are two rising 7th graders.  Is ms Strauss suggesting that a bus would pick up the 8th graders but not allow the 7th graders to board?  How wasteful for the parents and hurtful to the children.  Wouldnt it be better to put the 7th graders at existing bus stops with 8th graders.  I Wonder how the board of supervisors will feel about 50-100 students being driven into Tyson's corner?  [/quote]
