[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cutting the aquatics field trip will save almost no money. APS barely funds field trips. Mostly to planetarium, outdoor lab and pools. PTAs fundraise for Jamestown and the like. Kids like pool week. No sense in cutting it. And APS is not going to fund something better. [/quote] Careful. I'm sure people would like to eliminate the Planetarium trips, too. Don't remind them! [/quote] How much does APS spend on the planetarium? [/quote] The planetarium nonprofit “The Friends” took over a lot of the spending during a previous round of budget cuts. There are many things APS used to fund that are now funded through donations and by volunteers. I guess it’s a trend all over the country. The expectations for government services are just much lower than in the olden days. [/quote]
