Did Your Parents Pay for School Bus Service For Your High School Travel

Boy, when I went to school there was no such thing as paying extra to be able to take the school bus to school.

My town just raised the rates again...

Some parents in Poway could start feeling pain at the pump in more than just their own vehicles.

The surging cost of gas is forcing the school district to raise the price of its annual bus pass.

Starting in August, the pass will cost $366, a 10 percent increase over the current cost.

just to and from school? No that is part of all tax payers not just the parents who have kids.

a Bus? Ha..I walked to school, uphill, bothways, in the snow, 5 miles each way..(with plastic bags over my feet so my feet wouldn't get wet from the holes in the bottom of my shoes) ;)..
actually, I walked..school was only a mile from my house.

I walked, no bus 4 me!

That sucks but I think Poway residents might be able to absorb the cost better than most communities in San Diego.

No. It was part of the education budget, came from taxpayer funds.
