As parents who pay our fair share of local property taxes in
Stamford, who choose a faith-based learning environment for our children, and
who actively support the Stamford Catholic Schools, we believe that the recommendation
of the Appropriations Committee of the General Assembly of the State of
Connecticut to impose an incredibly unfair reduction of 80% ($2,876,000)
is ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE.
We know that in our city of Stamford, where in some cases more than 50% of our students travel by bus to our schools, the impact would be highly and unnecessarily destructive.
Without busing in a City like Stamford, whose public school system is already SEVERELY overcrowded at every location, many families will have trouble accessing Catholic School education and have no place to turn. The demands on an overburdened public school system with antiquated infrastructure would be crippling.
We view this latest recommendation of the Appropriations Committee as another attack on our Catholic Schools system, and by association another attack on our faith.
WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE REVERSAL OF THE RECOMMENDED APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE CUTS TO CATHOLIC BUS SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION AND END TO THE COMMITTEE’S HISTORIC PERSECUTION OF CATHOLIC EDUCATION.

Seeing this kind of movement is honestly wild because it proves people aren't just sitting by while these transportation budgets get gutted. It makes me think about those first few days when I was just staring at a blank screen wondering if anyone else felt the same frustration about the busing situation and now suddenly it feels like we actually have a real path forward.

STOP CUTTING OUR SERVICES. WE ARE TAXPAYERS.
my kids ride the bus every day. there is no way we can drive them with our work schedules. this is a huge mess.
This is ridiculous. We pay taxes just like everyone else. Why are they targeting us?
Unfair is an understatement. Stamford is already so congested and now they want to put more cars on the road during morning drop off? Good luck with that.
ridiculous move. keep the buses running.

The public schools are already way too full as it is. Where are they supposed to go if these kids get forced out? makes no sense!
