Reply To: East Ramapo budget should be voted down

They are under-funding private school kids bussing. They took away bussing on legal holidays that the schools are open on.

Is the safety of private school children going to school on holidays and Sundays unimportant?

Sure you can argue that bussing on legal holidays is non-mandated (unlike bussing on most school days, which is mandated for private schools.) But the board has the right to fund non-mandated options. Non-mandated stuff are funded in public schools, such as gym, art, full day kindergarten, etc. The safety of getting private school kids to school is at least as important as public school kids gym class.

If private school children will have their stuff taken away from them, the parents of private school children (representing a majority of voters) should vote down the tax increase.
