[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS pays one million dollars to Capital Entertainment Bus Company to transport athletes to inner-city games.  Which means they will send a 55 seat passenger bus to transport a 9-member team from Spingarn to Eastern.  I could never understand that logic.[/quote]

Do you know that to be true? I'm not discounting the fact DCPS pays for transporting athletes. It is probably in the athletic budget. That is normal ( safety issues for the athlete which includes tennis, softball, volleyball etc. not just basketball).Some schools just plain don't like each other. Why run the risk of rival schools confronting each other, on there way home from a game. I do have problem with all the money they are saving from not buying or using text books and DCPS huge fleet of buses can't take kids to museums or historical sites. It is going to take one incident such as a child  become missing or like my 11 year old daughter being approached by a learing, perverted passenger while I was present, to cause the school system to resond accordingly. It is not cute then. For 6 hours, our kids should be free to learn without being harrassed. I'm not naive. There are real world issues my DC will face while she is in school. Taking a bus on field trip is a no-brainer.[/quote]
