[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taylor specifically said they would not turn away students and that they would not be operating with a scarcity model. Plus, he said there are no caps on seats.

So it sounded like admissions was pretty much going to be an open door and no one would be rejected.[/quote]

Hah. No cap on admissions means out-of-control transportation costs. They probably have a cap on the number of bus routes they're willing to have per region and they won't enroll a single student more than can fit on those buses. [/quote]

Yeah but again they assume things. They assume large numbers of kids will ride the buses. But if transportation uses a different model than they’ve done before, they have no idea which families would be able to use the buses. And since they have no sample routes, families can’t even determine whether they’d drive their kids or use the buses or whatnot. Unless they communicate the routes, you can’t really apply/commit unless you know you can provide your own transportation. [/quote]
