Thanks For Nothing Pasco County Schools

The Boy is going to an adult learning center.

It's not government, but until now has been paid for out of the funding that is provided for his attendance with the county schools.

This funding is supposed to last until he turns 24, or four more years.

Today the school district informed the learning center that they weren't going to fund the summer break.

The learning center is a $50 a day proposition for us to pay for ourselves.  I sure don't have no spare $1,000 laying around to pay for July.

I know the school gets a break on that price, they're paying less than $50 a day (like $15).

Three things really piss me off about this.

1.  They had to have known that they weren't funding The Boy since the beginning of the year.  Waiting until today was low and likely calculated to do the most harm.

2.  The Boy is SUPER excited about the stuff that is on the schedule for the summer program that is now in jeopardy.

3.  We turned down opportunities for him to attend other summer programs that are funded by SSI and private donations.  This ties into #1.  If they'd told us two months ago we'd just be having him in those programs and all would be well.

I feel shitty for mentioning it, but there's the tip jar button over there on the top right.  Fund The Boy's classes for a day and get a special warm feeling!  Honestly need funding for eight days.  The stuff he's most excited about are just two days a week and if we could get that scrapped together all would be well in The Boy's universe.
