[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late buses are offered at Title I schools. Or at least it was offered at our Title I school.  Which is funny because it was a majority walker school. But our non Title I elementary that is minority walkers doesn’t offer it. [/quote]

I thought they stopped offering the late buses at elementary schools like 8-10 years ago.  Campbell is an option school, title I, higher FRL and doesn't offer one anymore.[/quote]

I know they used to at one point and then stopped but this year I think they started up again at some schools at least. The forms and flyers I see for enrichment programs do have information about late buses at two of the title one schools I get information on. [/quote]

Is there a special fee for the late bus?  Does the PTA pick it up?[/quote]

These are both title one schools with VERY limited budgets so I’m guessing the county is? [/quote]

The schools  with truly limited  budgets and the highest poverty rates have no need of a late bus because there is functionally no enrichment offered at school most of the time.  And most of the kids are at Extended Day, outside after school programs offered by community partners or or nonprofits, or, for the few who can afford it, activities arranged by their parents elsewhere.   And if APS is paying for these extra buses I am pissed.
