TIME TO GET SERIOUS!
4 million dollars to get the kids to school, but 0 dollars to purchase necessary resources and supplies for them to use and actual learn something once they get there??? Yes, that definitely makes sense! Oh wait, now I get it....Attendance is a factor for MCAS scores, actually having textbooks and supplies is not. I guess the kids will have to wait until it is a factor before Dr. Latham provides them with these necessities.
Well how are they supposed to get there...kids in wheel chairs..homeless kids..kids out of distric That qualify to take taxis,(staate mandate). Kids with feeding tubes and trachs...kids that are autistic , kid that are bipolar, etc etc etc. they have the right to attend school somewhere and Lynn chooses to keep them in Lynn and bus. If they went outside tuition would have to be paid and the price would quadruple. It costs a lot to bring a child in and out on a bus who can't walk, talk, etc. and there are a lot of them . Throw them away so more stuff can be bought???? Outside schools r very very expensive for any district. I am sure you have absolution though ...you always do !
Once again I urge you to read posts carefully and make sure you comprehend them before you comment on them. Nowhere did I write I thought we shouldn't have transportation. What my post does say is that we should have all the necessary supplies like textbooks, which Dr. Latham currently is not providing. Silly me for considering textbooks to be necessities and not just "stuff". I guess my expectations for the education the kids should be receiving is just too high....I mean who needs books right??
Go after the transportation companies if you want to blame someone for the cost.... To hire I school bus for a field trip it cost upwards of $160. That is one pick up One drop off. Also you don't seem to understand budgets. There are line items and usually you can't transfer money from one to another...there a grants that specifically go to one item. Not as easy as you would make people believe
You know, you're right. I think. I mean they didn't seem to have any trouble moving the money from the SPED line when they found out they were getting a higher than expected CIRCUIT BREAKER reimbursement.
Thank you for the compliment, but trust me, I do not know it all. However, perhaps the reason you always get so upset by my posts is because I actually do know a lot about what is going on in our schools and district. The truth hurts sometimes, but it still needs to be said. Also, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even you, and I am willing to have a mature adult debate over an issue I feel is important. However, please know that you can continue your childish name calling with every post, but I still will not respond in kind. Furthermore, I once again urge you to please at least have the courage and maturity to leave your name.
