It depends on what the meaning of "public" is

The high school in Lawrence MA is to start charging students a dollar a day to ride the school bus. They recently built a new school out of town, many kids could walk to the old one, and apparently forget to calculate the costs of transportation. Showing what his heart is made of superintendent of schools Wilfredo Laboy is quoted as saying:

"We recognize parents may have hardships. But educating kids is a costly business."

Nice.
