Well the Board agreed to increase transportation expense again, go figure... Hopefully this STEM investment is paying back enough marginal revenues to cover the marginal expenses. If you are unaware, RSI & SEA require unique bus routes to cover the whole district. This also continues into Middle School.
The odd thing about it is that only the Spanish Immersion kids are supposed to use the whole district busing to get to Plymouth Middle School. Meaning that citizens who intra-district transfer and are not in the Immersion program need to drive their kids. I assume it will be the same for the Robbinsdale Middle School STEM program.
Also, has anyone heard if they were able to improve Demographics of RSI and SEA to better represent the District? They have been mysteriously quiet on this topic so I assume the poverty level is still likely far below the neighborhood schools. Please reply if I am wrong. (or correct)
