Good Afternoon, With all the money the District has put away, I am not clear as to why, for this year at least, we could not offer either Universal Busing or at least a deep discount to ALL families. Dipti, Tom, Sai, Natasha I understand the issue of fairness regarding how the roads were determined. It felt deliberate and political and intended to put those BOE members who wanted to change this practice in a damned-if-you-do or damned-if-you don’t situation. I can understand moving forward with the idea of removing Courtesy Bussing and making it all Subscription until a firmer understanding of the need is in place and a real expert (state department of transportation, the town) officially comes out and designates roads as hazardous- allowing for a more informed and equitable courtesy busing program.
