[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone found where Kadera got this $390k figure for buses to Reed?  I can’t find it anywhere in the budget document.[/quote]

I ask that because in what I believe was to final proposal, page 36 appears to indicate that the budget includes a transportation increase for McKinley at the Rees site of only about $86k, not $390k.  Trying to figure out where Kadera’s numbers are coming from.

I think she’s doing some rough math, it looks to be more like $377k in transportation and driver/attendant expenses.  The thing that i believe she may be misinterpreting is that she is assuming all of that is for Reed itself, when the budget says these are costs associated with bringing the new school online, which I interpret to mean increased transportation costs associated not just with Reed itself, but also any other schools that will need an extra bus due to boundary redrawing.  My guess is that if they had kept McKinley and Reed both as neighborhood schools and put ATS north of Lee Highway, the increased busing costs would have been substantially higher than in this budget.[/quote]
