we've said it before, you can bus the kids to private schools as well. At 10k per kid - give themeven $12k per kid.
Then whomever wants could pocket the other $8k per kid. There should be a federal lawsuit against the BOE for failing to educate for 10 years and squandering Abbott money. Bus them out. And save money. Then you can start with a whole new school system. New schools, new employees and a new outlook. 1.Close the highschool in 08. (my 4 year phaseout) 2.Bus them to private schools - anywhere they want to go - families as well. Fund them with NJ state money for any kid from 9-12 grade. 3.kids from 5-9 grade - send them to private schools as well. This way they might have a shot. 4.Take the rest - prek-4th grade and concentrate and the kids AND THEIR family situations. Work both. 5.That gives you 5 years to decide where to send those kids when they reach 9th grade - either a "new" highschool - or to private schools. 6. Give the parent the choice of a private school. Those 4th graders and their families, in 5 years, might have an idea. ------------------------ Yahoo!
