Message: From GoLocalWorcester by Patrick Sargent, GoLocal Worcester Contributor: According to a report by the Worcester Research Bureau, the city of Worcester spent more than $15 million in public school transportation costs in Fiscal Year 2013. This amount represents a combination of regular bussing costs, special education bussing, mandated McKinney-Vento transportation and salaries of employees responsible for conducting bus transportation. There are two factors that are contributing to the city's high transportation costs. The first is racial deisolation which requires that all of the Worcester schools reflect the minority-majority population of the community within 15% percent of the minority-majority ratio in Worcester. This means that if there is a school in Worcester with much more minority students than majority or much more majority students than minority than the student population of the city reflects, the city has to take steps to balance the schools populations. http://www.golocalworcester.com/news/is-racial-deisolation-costing-worcester-millions-in-school-transportation
