Rushton - Request Standing Committee on Education, when meeting jointly with the School Committee’s Committee on Finance, consider as cost cutting measures in transportation the following: 1) mainstreaming some Special Education Students onto the conventional buses, and 2) revising the bus pick-up system in a way that would allow for fewer stops and further walking for students, within reason; all in the interest of cost savings which could be directed to the classroom.
