On April 19, 2013, the Appropriations Committee of the General Assembly proposed a 70% cut in the funding for Catholic School Bus Transportation – a cut from $3,595,000 to $719,100. Dale R. Hoyt, Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Hartford has asked that parents reach out to their legislative leaders to ask them to reverse their proposal.
As noted by the CT Federation of Catholic School Parents in their memo, the Appropriations Committee should better appreciate that for years our Catholic Schools have saved the State about $360M each year; The Appropriations Committee should better appreciate that our parents also pay their fair share of local property taxes – and it is only right that they should receive some assistance for the transportation of many of our students.
Please open and read the attached Word document for more details.
