I'm not quite sure who pays for site rental for a McKamey School (probably the
students)...but in the Bay Area, that ain't cheap. Probably 2-3 years ago,
almost
0 sites were available, thus the negativity on a McKamey School that would
have
served what, 24, drivers while a regional school can double that--I'm sure Ken
will correct me if I'm wrong--thus the cost factor would go through the roof
for a McKamey/Evolution School in the Bay Area. If we went out to Stockton, it
might be cheap enough to work.
Nothing in life is really free, including sites.
