The question of the week: How will they get to school?
"They" are students in the King Philip, Dighton-Rehoboth, Tri-County, Southeastern and other regional school districts around the state whose transportation budgets have been slashed a total of $18 million. Losses for the regional systems in Sun Chronicle country range from $200,000 to $450,000, significant budget adjustments to make when two months of the school year have already passed and when the fiscal year is already four months over. In similar situations, non-regional school districts have imposed transportation fees, but that's illegal for regional districts. We would not be surprised to see emergency legislation proposed to change that, but as of Friday, regional school superintendents were saying they had more questions than answers. Featured blog
Letters To The Editor
I wish to thank the thousands of Attleboro voters who supported my campaign for city councilor at large on Tuesday. I feel like I know them all. I may not recognize their face but I certainly know their neighborhood. Their voting result has left me felling elated, inspired and exhausted. I also feel like the character Jimmy Stewart portrayed at the end of the Christmas movie "It's a wonderful life." More of this story
