Gotta sell a lot of bus passes in order to pay the Superintendent $328K per year and the head football coach over $131,000 per year.

But where would we be without highschool football?

They never charged me when riding the short bus.

School busses are a waste of taxpayer dollars unless you are in a very rural area. Parents should foot the bill if they can’t drive their kids to school or their kids can’t bike.

They don’t want to pay for the school bus ride? Whadda they think they are? Illegal aliens? Ukrainians? America’s don’t get things unless they pay!

[Revel]

I honestly did not know that there were states where students were charged to ride the bus to school. I guess it all depends on how much the school taxes are.

[aynrandfreak]

I would hope they don’t charge property taxes there.

[Vendome]

Zactly my first thought...

[metmom]

What? School taxes aren’t enough?

[wardaddy]

That’s crazy

Those SEC sized high school stadiums high dollar

If you home-school, bus passes are a lot cheaper.

[TheBattman]

Have you seen the cost of purchasing a school bus, the regular maintenance, the fuel, and the biggest cost beyond the bus... the driver?

The average bus driver pay around here is $25/hr with an average bus route that’s 5 hours total (before + after school). That’s around $15000 per semester. AT $300/student, you would have to have 50 paying riders per bus to just pay the cost of the driver (actual employee cost to district). A new school bus (71 passenger is the typical/average) runs just north of $140k.

It’s one of the wealthiest school districts in the state. My guess is that there aren’t many kids riding he bus.
