Minutes: 

Board member Jane Goodwin stated that school begins next Monday and in middle school we have a new program that partners within our community of putting together both tennis and golf.  If parents in taking their child back to school are interested in those programs that many people in the community worked hard at getting those organized since those had been cut initially from the middle schools.  Jane Goodwin encouraged sign up for those next week.  Traffic will increase next week and we hope that all those on the road will understand our buses and our children being outside and be safe in all situations. 

Board member Carol Todd stated that you are required to stop.  It is incredible as she drives around that you see people who get up to the back of the bus and they think maybe I should stop.  There are children getting on and off the bus or there is not a media in the road and they think because it is not four lanes that maybe they don't have to stop.   It is incumbent upon our public to know what the rules are.  On the website in the past we have had something about the rules because it is about the safety of our children.
