The Milwaukee School board has been debating several issues now, for the past few months, concerning the education of MPS students, the lack of funding that is needed for schools and now cutting buses from the Milwaukee Public School System.
Will the decision of cutting buses better the Milwaukee Public School System?
No, it will only cause more problems between the relationships of students, parents and administration. Many students will be out of a reliable source of transportation to and from school.

I am appalled at the decision made by MPS to cut the buses from students.
How are school board officials looking out for the best interest of students, when they are taking away one of their resources. I am so tired of hearing this debate between the school board and public officials over the same issues, we have yet to see results.

A reason for eliminating the bus system will allow for money to go back into neighborhood schools, the arts program and after-school activities. According to the article in the Journal Sentinel online, "Black Kids on buses may slip into MPS lore", by Eugene Kane, he states that MPS provides busing for 55,000 students a day at a cost of $57 million annually.
My concern is that MPS is trying to segregate black kids from other students. Schools have been desegregated since 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, why are we going back to the ways of Segregation?
Cutting buses leaves many parents with fewer options. Already many of the neighborhood schools have been closed, now you want to take away busing, what's next?
The school system figures that money could be used to:
- strengthen neighborhood schools
- re-open several north side schools
- provide art and music programs in those areas

Did we not learn anything, we are supposed to be EQUAL!
