In Wichita the City of Wichita does provide maintenance on the streets which lead to both Bishop Carroll Catholic High School and Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School as well as Wichita Independent, Wichita Trinity, Wichita Collegiate and all the private grade schools. With that said, the City of Wichita maintains these streets not because they provide transportation to these schools but because they provide transportation to every business and every neighborhood to the North, South, East and West of the schools. The parents of the students at these private schools are also taxpayers who are paying for the infrastructure improvement of which you speak as well as the taxes which support your public schools.


Well said Richard!!
