San Fran is losing money, in its schools and in the city. It is bankrupt financially. Maybe if the city had its students attend neighborhood schools this would not be a problem. Maybe if the District made the parents, not government, responsible for getting the kids to school, even more money would be saved.
"It costs the district $100,000 annually to run each yellow bus.
The cuts will not be pleasant, according to Dennis Gardner, a former director of the district’s transportation department who is now consulting on the bus policy.
“There will be hits,” Gardner said. “There will be severe cuts. I want to see money in classrooms, not on four wheels.”
For the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years, the district anticipated a $113 million budget gap. District officials, however, said the deficit could be even greater during the next three school years."
here is a simple suggestion: Get id of any organization that forces people to pay bribes to hold a job--in the real world that is extortion and is illegal--except in government.
Then add 3-4 more students to a classroom and you will not need as many teachers.
You can save money if you want. When your deficit is $113 million, you have no choice.
