Maplewood Mayor Dean Dafis announced tonight that the South Orange-Maplewood Board of School Estimate — which approves the tax levy to support the South Orange-Maplewood School District's annual budget — will meet on October 6 to discuss 'better' transportation for the district 'starting in January.' The BSE is made up of members of both the South Orange and Maplewood governing bodies, as well as members of the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education. The decision by the Board of Education to end 'courtesy' busing — busing provided to some elementary and middle school students who live between 1-2 miles from their designated schools — has provoked a public outcry by some district families online, in person and through correspondence with elected leaders in recent months.
