[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’m definitely supporting period supplies at elementary and all schools. [/b]
Heck, I’m happy that they are offered for me, an adult, at work. Sometimes I need it.

I also definitely support more late busses. My HS had two late busses every day (one for sort of late and one for really late) - I took it every day. [/quote]

You seem not to appreciate that the money for these programs is just being thrown at a small number of schools with no analysis of why those schools should be prioritized over other schools, or whether spending the money on other programs would be a better use of scarce resources.

But, yeah, free stuff!  It’s all good until people give up on FCPS and are no longer willing to foot the bill.

Well I voted for the meals tax![/quote]

They already do that!  The issue is providing free dispensers in the bathrooms.  If you don't understand that this can be abused, you are very naive.

I'm fine with extra late buses if there is a need.  But, they have not shown a need.  This is like testing spaghetti by throwing it to the wall to see if it sticks.  There are better ways to determine if it is ready.  
Do you have any idea how much money will be spent here?
And, if they are needed, there are also poor kids in many other schools that could use them.

The money could be better spent on an extra teacher/counselor in those schools.  The money spent on the late buses would likely cover that and more.[/quote]
