Too much bus time
Wednesday, April 6, 2011 - 1:12 pm
In regards to the consolidation study and regional high schools, I want people to know that it is not okay for high school students to be on a bus any longer than elementary. My child is an honors student involved in many activities. The bus is not a good place to do homework. So now the time my oldest child and eventually my younger children used to do homework and other activities will be spent on a bus and they will receive less opportunities to develop athletic and leadership qualities. Unless of course I buy my children a car to reduce the amount of time on a bus.

Can’t have it both ways
Wednesday, April 6, 2011 - 1:11 pm
I am hearing a lot of talk about schools merging and closing. Instead of listening to the local rumor mill, I decided to do some research on my own. I encourage everyone to look into this topic- a great website is http://www.p12.nysed.gov/mgtserv/sch_dist_org/GuideToReorganizationOfSch... There are even flyers being circulated in one community with a lot of misinformation on them. Did you know that schools can’t merge without voter and community approval?
