[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$6 millón is still $6 million. Better to spread it around the entire county when there are more kids wanting to do the programs than slots for the programs.[/quote] It's $38.35 per student. [/quote] Can you show us how you came up with $38.35? $6 million for busing to HGC and magnet programs is more than $38.35 per student being bused. It is also only a reflection of the busing cost, not the total cost of the programs. How much is being spent on students in selective programs vs. the rest of the kids in the county. If the Board of Education truly values closing the Achievement Gap, then why are they spending so much on these selective programs vs. using the money toward more resources and support for the disadvantaged, low income student populations? The Board of Education should end these programs and increase opportunities for challenging programs all local schools for all students who want to participate.[/quote]
