[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the need for charter buses with bathrooms to go to MD Science Center. My 5th grader is going to Harper's Ferry next week, and they are taking the big yellow school buses. No bathrooms. Teachers make everyone go right before and right after. Maybe they stop enroute, I don't know.[/quote] Because it is cheaper to get charter buses than school district buses for out-of-county field trips, and because the school district buses have to be available for the regular routes. Or at least that's how it works in MCPS.[/quote] If it's cheaper, why is OP's field trip so expensive? Seems pretty unlikely. There are some back up buses, they don't use every single solitary bus every day. Or is MCPS really run on such a shoestring? Hard to believe.[/quote] This is an FCPS trip, so it is unlikely that MCPS budget is the issue.[/quote]
