Maybe it's a flight of fancy to imagine private donors fully funding a school bus that mimics a space shuttle. It's imagination and creativity and learning, under the guise of interplanetary space travel, and it captivates students' minds. Dream Flight is on the Wausau School Board's potential hit list.
Budgets are tight.
But when a school board scrambles to save reading, math and English, imaginary space travel is an elective. Breaking free from the gravity of state revenue limits might be the best thing that could happen to Dream Flight Wausau. Then it can soar on its own. And that will happen, if the community really, really, really believes in its mission. The money's out there.
