The state legislature has officially restored funding for Catholic school bus transportation. I am grateful to each of you for the commitment shown to this cause throughout this process. We will remain observant as these funds are distributed to ensure educational continuity for our students.

To Governor Malloy and the CT State Legislature: 

Please reverse the Appropriations Committee cuts to Catholic School bus transportation. - Catholic Schools in the State of CT save the state over $300 million annually. - Local municipalities and Boards of Education would see a dramatic rise in their education costs if students who would otherwise attend Catholic School enrolled in public schools as a result of this cut by the appropriations committee. Thank you for your immediate consideration.

Catholic schools take a huge burden off the public system. this is just short sighted.

If these kids end up in public schools the town will be broke. keep the buses running.
