[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What PGCPS needs to do (and no one wants to talk about) is eliminate the specialty programs at elementary school level.  That eliminates a ton of bussing and the county would have more than enough drivers.

As someone who works at one of these specialty programs, I 100% agree. These programs tend to perform higher academically that the regular public schools and its free! The least the parents can do is provide transportation. [/quote]

The PP is saying that the programs themselves should be eliminated, not just the bussing.  But I like your idea of eliminating bussing for school choice options.[/quote]

Yes,  That's what I was saying. We spend entirely too much money on K-,6 speciality programs that could be used to strengthen our local ES.  
But to the PPs point about bussing....that was proposed years ago during a budget debate and people about lost their minds.  I think the idea was to provide bussing to FARMS eligible families and make non- farms kids pay a monthly fee.

I have a rising K who I would like to send to an immersion school (waitlisted for both), and I would be ok with this solution.[/quote]
