I think the Brunswick county school board should have put a lot more thought in this decision. Is this truly going to save the $ they say? I think that there is other ways to cut without putting hardship on working parents. No cuts at central office???? Just put more of a burden on working people. Who is going to have to pay before & after school daycare now? Not everyone leaves their children at home alone. Some of us live in areas where children should not be left alone. Everyone should take a look at what is WASTED at schools. If everyone that works has to put their child on a bus next year- are we not going to have to have more buses? On do we just overcrowd them? The sleep study that Mr. Pruden talks about won't make much of a difference when children still have to get up because they have to be taken somewhere before school. Maybe everyone can get their children enrolled in the k-8 school that won't be affected.
