[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS spends 2.95 million on aquatics. Almost three million! That's a huge amount of money that we could spend on other things, like lowering class sizes and keeping library assistants. [/quote]

It is both fascinating and terrifying how people have no idea what in the actual hell they are talking about.

APS has 3 public pools embedded in their high schools.  They manage these pools for the public and they are heavily used by the entire community. That's what this budget is for.  There are also some fees charged to use the pools which offsets the expense, which you have conveniently left out. Just like all the school nurses embedded in your school are actually paid for by the County public health department.  Lots of examples of sharing of costs between the two entities on behalf of the community.

Cutting your kid getting bused to the pool for a couple days is not some big cost savings.  How would you even logically think this?[/quote]

Wrong there are definitely employees that administer the in school aquatics programs. 
Also for the rest- Do the fees completely offset the expense? [/quote]
