A possible referendum may be placed on the Ballot to change the distance for transportation . So If you live within 1/2 mile from the school, you may be losing school bus service. What's your thoughts on this ? Are you in favor or against this?
I'm sure some parents will pitch a fit because now they will have to drive thier kids to school because most will be too lazy to walk. Right now kids living next to the school get a bus which is ridiculous. But cutting the tansportation pick up mileage , it will save the district money.
