Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The following e-mail came to me after an inquiry and e-mail discussion
with Taha and Hini Kidwai of Broadway in Hanover. Instead of being
completely frustrated with the current state of school budget cuts,
the Kidwais are doing something about it! If you have a student going
to Hanover High next year please read on, or if you know someone who
does, please send them this e-mail from Taha!
As some of you might be aware, Joseph Ingle Bus Company is the
contractor Hanover Schools engages for their student transportation
needs. With the complete elimination of the bus service for high
school students for the next academic year, Steve Ingle of Ingle Bus
has provided 2 options for parents who may wish to utilize a private
bus service. Busing the students might be the preferred option for
some parents with work conflicts AND it may prove to be advantageous
in inclement weather. Come old man winter they will appreciate a bus
and you will appreciate that they will be much more secure in a bus!
It also frees parents from pick-up and drop-off duties!
If there are at least 40 students, the cost would be $45,000 for the
school year which works out to about $113 per month per student. If
there are 80 students utilizing this service, the numbers work out to
about $36,000 or $90 per month per student. The preceding numbers are
based on a 10-month school year. Obviously, the more students who take
the bus, the more potential savings will be realized. Please consider
the above as you contemplate the next school year. If you are
interested, or want more information, please e-mail Taha Kidwai at
kidwaiis@yahoo.com
by or before July 22, 2011.
