In the 70's there was a bus that transported those of us who had moved from the city to the burbs of Austintown. This bus picked up children who attended St. Brendan's, Holy Name and St. Anthony's. The bus was full and the ride was long to ensure we all got to our schools at correct times. There was no way that individual buses would have ever of worked to get us to these schools. Is there is a reason why something of this style cannot work again. Yes it will take work and effort to coordinate schedules and logistics but would it not be worth it?
I do also find it amazing that $35,000 was spent on a marketing campaign that is nearly the same amount of money saved by not providing busing. This makes no sense to me. Many people send their children to catholic schools to continue the teaching of their faith. It has nothing to do with the quality of education offered in their backyard. There is no amount of marketing that is going to change that belief.
