Why am I getting lsta charges on my credit card? What are they for? Why am I charged 3 times? I was charged yesterday and now again today another $340. Are they charging me for the same kid 3 times or different kids? $340x 3 is a lot of money

How many kids do you have who are courtesy bussing (under 2 miles for elementary school under 2.5 miles for high school)

I hate that answer. I pay good money in taxes my children’s buses should be included too.

Except as far as im aware, the state law says that buses are only covered by taxes at 2/2.5 miles.

Maybe we should lobby to rewrite that law but I am just not optimistic in NJ.

Courtesy busing is a courtesy. You’re not entitled to it.

Taxes are not fair and will never be fair.

If you’re going to lobby you’re better off lobbying to get rid of Abbott districts so the school districts can get fair funding. But that won’t happen in New Jersey either.

The people in Baltimore and many other cities pay taxes and dont get their bussing paid for OR even subsidized.

I was also charged three times $340.

I’m assuming it’s for 3 of my kids that don’t get courtesy bussing.

Don’t u think we should get an email or text before we’re charged 340x3 That’s 1,020 that I can’t afford now. The camps send a text reminder we’re charging your credit card this amount on this day. Why can’t the lsta do that?

You can call them, or email them to complain.
