[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay for our bus service and it isn't cheap.  We also drive to a bus stop that is central to a critical mass of families.  This is the first year we have had bus service and I am very thankful for it and happy to pay for it.  Our school uses its own buses.  [/quote]

And, this is how it should be done or if the school uses public school buses, they should be covering the full expense of running those buses.  We are in private school and it is our choice not to use the public school (although in our situation it would have been a problem as we have special needs and needed a small classroom).  I don't expect the county to transport my child (nor would I trust them but that is a different issue).  If parents paid a fee to the public schools and choose not to use them, it would be different.  Everyone pays for the public school system through our tax dollars (or those of us who pay taxes) - so those with grown kids, those with kids not school aged, and those without kids also have the burden of paying (which seems unfair to me).  Except when the school system cannot meet a child's needs, the parent or school should take on the full cost of a private school.[/quote]
