Is this happening in your area? Our school districts are cutting busing to high school students and k-8 students who live within a certain distance from the school. We had a great plan in place for DS in 1/2 day kindy and afternoons at his old preschool's after school program. They were going to work on advanced academics in PM since our K is more social for him anyway. Now with his busing cut, how am I supposed to get him to an afterschool program? Other working moms switched quickly to private schools or the public schools offer a full day option for a tuition of $4.5k. I feel like they are a) punishing parents for a failed school levy b) forcing working parents to pay for an all day option. Is this happening around the country or just in our area?
