[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, but the programs themselves (and the schools in general) could be so much better without the busing. It is extremely expensive, and school districts have finite budgets. [/quote] The vast majority of busing is busing students to their home schools. Busing to special programs is only a very small component of the cost.[/quote] Right, my initial comment was not limited to special programs. There is no question that busing over 100,000 students to their home schools on a daily basis is extremely expensive for the district. That money has to come from somewhere. [/quote] We can reduce some of the busing by making roads in Montgomery County safer for kids to walk. But a lot of the busing is the result of land use decisions in the 1960s through the 1990s, and we're stuck with it.[/quote]
