[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the immersion program does not have bussing offered out of district.

I still contend that schools with LLIV programs should not be offered the center option.  The centers should only be for students in schools without the resources available to them.[/quote]

Yes, but TJ does have busing! Again, let's not cherry pick! All or none!![/quote]

Good point. Should TJ students pay for their transportation? Honest question, 7:21.[/quote]

TJ's busing isn't the same as AAP bussing. Buses run from the local high school to TJ.  TJ isn't doing runs across the county.  TJ kids take the local HS bus to the local HS and then take the TJ bus from HS to TJ.
I think removing the AAP bussing will totally change the vibe of AAP.
If immersion parents are willing to drive, AAP parents should be willing to drive also.

I drove my kid to school but I am a work from home parent so it is not difficult for me to hit two elementary schools and one preschool in the morning. Many of the stay at home parents do drive their kids to the center in our neighborhood. The ones that regularly use bus services are the working families where both parents work out of the home.

In our bus run to center, the bussed in kids go on the same busses as kids zoned for the center. The busses just hit our neighborhoods first in tue morning and last after school. Tye zoned kids have a nice short bus ride and the bussed in kids have a very long bus ride, even if they live minutes from the school.  I have no problem with that.

The center busses also stop at the feeder elementary schools and pick up a bunch of kids. Maybe that would be a better solution to appease some parents, but I am guessing it would be less efficient and more expensive for the district because the busses would be half empty or have to drive even longer/farther to collect kids at multiple elementaries.[/quote]
