Well, 707, aren't yu the pot calling the kettle black!




Oh look! Another asshole loser, "timely response", has posted yet another stupid post to detract from the issues. Go back to butt kissing the union, jerk off. How about you tell us when you're finally going to get a functioning brain. Tick Tock Tick Tock

I'm still waiting, "timely response"! Your butt kissing lips are working but it doesn't look like you've acquired a functioning brain yet.

Tick Tock Tick Tock



THE TRANSPORTATION VOTE WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

VOTE NO!


Polling the buses won't matter. There is a legal obligation to supply a seat to every eligible student whether they chose to sit in the seat(ever) or not. There is some logic to this; If they need to get all the eligible bus kids home due to some emergency there must be the seats available. Eligibility is based upon the current distance policy in place for many years.

The past practice has been the unreserved seats where given out on temporary passes. This all come to be an issue because one bus was dropped due to enrollment - I believe the route was over by St. Mary's. Those parents wanted temporary passes and none were available (or not enough for all the requests). They made a case to the district that can be summed up as: "If we can't have temporary passes why should others get them". This of course become the EISD current policy - "we can't pick and choose" - fair is fair right?. So here we go - we will have another vote (at a cost to he taxpayers = approx $16K). - to change the distance guidelines and add three buses at cost of about $170k per year , every year, of course this is not including cost increase, gas, insurance, etc. This is a case of some members of the community not considering the impact their case may have on the other members of community - maybe they didn't know , maybe they didn't care, doesn't matter - the result is the same.

Here are a few facts:

The NYS limit a child in a HS can walk is 3 miles. We currently have 1 1/2.

The current policy has been in place since the '70's.

How many of the current parents bought their house's ( hopefully informed about the bus policies in place) after the 70's - under the current rules?Most current parents did not own a home in the community 30 years ago - I would even venture to say < 97% did not.

The point is that we chose the house we bought and if due diligence was done - we knew where the schools were - we still chose our properties based upon where in town we wanted to live, regardless of our "bus eligibility".

 

Bottom line - our costs are always going up - we accelerate the rate of increase by demanding more from the District.

 

Opinion:

 

SO both parents have to work to pay the taxes that fund the schools -

SO no one can be home to walk with their kids if they feel they are not safe walking to school - Grandma cant' do it, she had to move of NY because she couldn't afford the taxes-

SO maybe they drive their kids to school which increases costs to the family: gas, time from work-

SO some employ morning sitters or go to work late -

SO maybe they have to use the afterschool program which costs $-

It is a perpetual circle that keeps growing in scale.

 SO - How much harder or longer do you want to work to support an issue that personally effects you for a few years (4th-12th grade maximum for many families much less) but financially effects you for as long as you live in this community.

 

Its up to District residents to make a personal decision and vote in November for community impact.

it seems like EI school district will best listen to you if you start a petition.Lets start a petition to get rid of the football program that program will never benefit my daughters so we do not need it ! that is the same mind set as the bus petition ...........MY little darlings need a service and who gives a darn if some students still walk as long as my kids ride.
sounds fair to me. Petition to get rid of East Islip football will soon follow ! Sign up people all we need is 400 signatures
Maybe we can use some of those tax dollars on special education
exactly how many football coaches do we have on EI payroll ?
CUT TAXES AND CUT FOOTBALL....

The East Islip Board was recently honored for "working tirelessly and without pay to afford the best opportunities for their own kids, allowing the miscreants to steal from the district and deface public property without penalty or recourse."

If you want your money back that George owes the state then just vote no on the bus vote. According to what you posted George owes only $250 to the State. And that is assuming it has not been paid, because we know you don't post the entire story.

Vote No on the Bus referendum. Make these lazy shit ass parents take their kids to school.
