transportation to private afterschool program unless we guarantee a spot at the school because all those issues still exist. the licensing, the capacity, the rules of doing it onsite, the ramp-up in capacity for every child to stay on their elementary school site for afterschool is a huge multi-year enterprise that we have, i'm happy that we began that discussion last year, but after all we postponed even making the decisions and having the discussion let alone actually doing it. we know that's not happening next year or the year after or the year after that in this phaseout period if we go with that that we will have enough capacity on every afterschool site for every child to be there for an afterschool program. still, as i said, i think the concept is there, but the content is a little thin for us . at least, i would like to know what the progress is or what the status is of the re-alignment of afterschool discussions going on in the district at the same time. i think we need to know that. i think the board certainly needs to know it before we vote on the transportation policy that would have some significant reduction in afterschool transportation, but i'm hop

we recognize the district has this initiative that it's looking to provide onsite afterschool programs to the students. that's the potential direction the district is going. we'll work very closely with that team to make sure we're supporting the future vision for it so it would be aligned with that rather than working in isolation. commissioner norton: i appreciate that. i don't think it's good enough. i think that we need to guarantee that we will -- that we will -- there will be capacity onsite for students that are losing their transportation to a nonsfusd program offsite. i really think we have to do that. that's where we're going anyway. i am thinking of my own daughterer's elementary school and there are various children who go it to various offsite school programs and others are bussed to over programs two of which are not sfusd. it's a mess. it's a total mess. if we're also -- so what are we going to do? are we going to say to the kids who are bussed to the non-sfusd program,, you need to go a different offsite afterschool program but not the one that we have been busing you t
