My kindergartener will be going to St. Mike's next year for all day kindergarten and our plan is to bring our other 2 over the following year. What will the grand total of people leaving be????

Plus we have been here a long time and enjoy fairly low property taxes; would likely double if we moved. We don't have any Catholic schools that near to us so I am afraid I would have the same issues with a long commute --- so we stay and my child will change schools within Livonia.

What does IMO mean?

My son will be home schooled I've heard a lot of good things about home schooling lately. It appears to benefit children and families with larger numbers the most. But please don't take that statement as "advise", that's just what I've heard recently when parents having been discussing schools not in the traditional LPS system.

Both of these choices would be equally, if not more distruptive to our family, so we have chosen to stay in Livonia and LPS. We will go along with the LI plan if it is implemented. I am on my school's transition team, and I am participating in the Focus Groups. As much as I am against the LI, my reality is that if it goes through, we will be a part of it, so I have to do whatever it takes to make it work for my kids.

That's 5 total, 5 x $8260.00 per pupil = $41,300.00 taken away from LPS budget next year. I called around to some of the catholic schools around the area. I could account for 38 kids transferring from LPS to their schools. I also spoke with two other parents who stated they were going to pull their kids out of LPS. Two kids were going to be home schooled, they other was going to enrolled her children in catholic schools, but hasn't started the process yet. I'm sure with the judge delaying the injunction proceeding for 90 days that you will see a lot more activity @ the private schools this week. Sorry BOE, your plan isn't going to save you as much money as you thought! 40 X 8260 = $330,440.00 you will be loosing so far for next year. I'm sure there will be more!!!!!! P. S. These figures didn't include k's for next year. So who knows how much they really are going to loose.
