[quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent at one of the Fillmore schools. I'm ready to let it go. I can't in good conscience say it's okay for the city to spend $1100 on my kid's arts education, while spending $450 per capita on kids in the rest of the city. Add to that the mixed reviews, the revolving door of teachers who are not trained in classroom management, and instructional time lost to transit, and I:m ready to try an in school model. As an aside, the 600 K for busing works out to $8.80 per kid per trip (assuming 1700 kids and 40 weeks of instruction). More expensive than a city bus, but you'd expect to pay more than a city bus for the door to door service and the short term use. That would be SOP for any transit contract. Thus, you could reduce the busing costs, but not by enough.[/quote]
