Here's some food for thought; some are original ideas and others have been mentioned on these threads by others.

Many posters from other districts have given their opinion on the subject. How many of them are from districts that are demographically 70% economically disadvantaged?

With the mentality of holding the parents responsible for their own children the district could save tons of money by cutting back on the breakfast and lunch programs, before and after school tutorials, all out of district bussing, etc. I think you get the picture.

Much of the area was flooded. Has anyone considered that some may have lost their vehicles to flooding, not to mention the homes?

Many posters have said the district is not required to provided the transportation. The overall success of any district is determined by how far they are willing to go beyond the minimum requirements.

Some have said extra curricular activies are a choice and and not as important as the required programs while others have stated that most will not go on to play professional sports. In WOS's case its the EC activities and sports that may keep them in school until graduation. That makes it extremely valuable.

If the district felt the need to reduce spending in the athletic area, why not consult with the very successful ATHLETIC DIRECTOR concerning his ideas of where to cut in athletics.

Why disrupt, by far, the most successful WOS program. Why not acknowledge the passionate support of the issue. Lord knows WOS need as many supporters as they can get during their rocky road. (just as they did during the bond election)

Why just eliminate the transportation with out alternate ways to keep it going? The district can purchase a very good used surplus bus for under $3000, require the programs that need transportation to have an employee acquire a class C licence and do the driving them selves. The only annual cost would be insurance, fuel and routine maintenance. Problem solved. Even this option could be stomached if the district was working toward the big deficit solution.

I feel quite certain that the WOS loyals would probably have been more receptive to the transportation loss if would have been presented as part of district wide $500,000 or so reduction plan to address some of the deficit.

Some have said they have a $2,000,000 deficit and they must start somewhere to start chipping away. CHIPPING away is not going to get it.

Everyone wants answers and solutions to the budget problems. It took them two months to figure out their transportation cost was actually $16,000 and not $25,000. Not a good sign when your looking for a $2,000,000 answer.

Things are uncertain right now but hang in there. It will all work out.

I smell another round table on TV....Buses and Tests! :o

Probably not.....Some schools really can't afford to start the bus after school programs. Look at the size of some the districts. They couldn't afford to kids all over creation, and they are having enough playing for fuel for regular bus runs. Newton still carries their kids home, and take a look at a map of the district. It is pretty darn big.

Most schools would never tie the TAKS to playing ball.....

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
