When I was reading your blog, I came across this article that interested me because I read this very same article about Keller ISD. I have to say that I think this idea of the pay to ride plan is a good idea. Transportation to and from school for one student costs the district from $260 to $360 per student a year. The pay to ride plan isn't asking too much from parents and if it isn't affordable to parents, they'll find a way to arrange transportation for their kids which would save even more money for the district. District officials predict to save $2 million with this plan and want to use it towards rehiring the teachers they had to let go. Keller ISD even offered to help find ways for low-income families to afford the pay to ride fee if they weren't able to come up with it. Two North Texas school districts were considering the pay to ride plan in order to help with the crisis of education funding in Texas.
