Amityville School Dist., Proposed Removal of Chaminade Bus

This decision is unacceptable and must be overturned immediately.

You must continue to bus chaminade students, that’s the least you can do after these families are paying same taxes as families of Amityville students

I agree with everything stated here.

All district children are entitled to to transportation to their chosen school

We need our busses

Nice work Todd!

As a parent of 4 private school educated children, I would have been devastated if the district had decided not to provide bussing to their individual schools.

Keep the buses for all

We pay ALOT of money in school taxes for which we do not use, we NEED the buses, there is no reason to the this away from our cuildren

Kindly, I hope there are other ways to save money instead of cutting busing. Please reconsider

Private school students within a reasonable distance from Amityville should receive transportation from the district.

Families that pay insane high school taxes and save the Amityville School District a lot of money by sending their children to private school should not be burdened with the additional expense of transportation to the private school when it us a reasonable distance away from Amityville.

All three of my children went to Catholic schools from kindergarten to graduating high school. All those years busing was provided through our local school system which received our school taxes paid in full. No voucher system existed meaning no tax relief whatsoever. I do not understand why this is even a discussion to be had. I would add I always supported the school budget regardless of if I agreed with it for fear of those students losing out on what in many cases is one of the few positives in their lives. Sports and extra curriculum activities always seem to be the first on the chopping block. I would expect those young families currently choosing to use private schools be extended the same transportation that they are now paying for in full through their school taxes. In closing, biting off one of the hands that feeds you is never a wise choice.

Despicable that this cut is even being considered.

We pay taxes for a reason

Next budget vote will get a no from me unless the board dismisses this dumb idea and saves by either relooking at NE or increases class sizes nearer to pre pandemic

Private school students deserve transport within a reasonable distance.

We pay Amityville school taxes and don’t use the schools.. at the least we can have bus transportation to the school of choice!

Provide the private school kids in amityville with the proper transportation. This includes the Chaminade bus. We pay the taxes for all for these services!!

Please continue private school bussing
