[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you all catch the transportation slide? This confirmed the dcum rumor that students would need their own transportation to their home high school (earlier than the regular neighborhood bus) and then would ride to the program high school from there. That is actually worse than the current not-awesome magnet bus transportation set up. Only families who can accommodate this can consider these programs. [/quote]

Did it?  I was looking for details about that and didn't see anything.[/quote]

On page 90 of the presentation they have a chart essentially saying that for region 4, which has 4 schools, each school will need 3 “program” buses. I am inferring that this means one bus for each set of students coming from the other high schools. Since all high schools have the same start time, students would not have enough time to ride their neighborhood route to their home school and then transfer to their program school. They would need their own transportation to their home school earlier. And same for the afternoon. The bus from the program would drop them at their home high school but they’d need their own transportation home from there. [/quote]

They also need their own transportation for sports, clubs and activities. [/quote]
