[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The transportation budget for SpEd students alone is about $100 million.  We already have the most expensive school district (per pupil) in the country.

There is no budget for this.  Walk to your neighborhood school.  If you don't like it, metro/bus/bike/uber to your school of choice.

If you want to live in one part of town and send your child to school on the other side of town, that really should be on you.  Get your DC One Card and deal with it.  The rest of us are already subsidizing your choices.  [/quote]

Some of us who can walk to our neighborhood school have some thoughtful concern for others who may not be able to walk to their own neighborhood school, just to add another perspective.[/quote]

Thoughtful concern is one thing, and I'm happy to share that.  However, the idea of ballooning the transportation system in DC/DCPS to create school bus routes that are convenient for parents who want a personal system to get their child to a far-away school is more than I'm on board with.  Over half of Americans are overweight.  You want your child to get to school a mile away?  Walk off some of those cheeseburgers.[/quote]
