Discussion

Mrs. Owen thanked Mrs. Goetz and Mr. Molley for the presentation at the Special Meeting last week.


Mrs. Owen stated that she inquired at the Special Meeting about the use of vans for out of district field trips and was advised by the Superintendent that KDE did not condone that practice. Mrs. Owen also stated that solutions given to her were to train teachers as bus drivers and to recruit more bus drivers.


Mrs. Owen was glad about the salary increase for staff in the budget.


Mrs. Owen inquired at the Special Meeting about the safety of students and the possible transportation of students to and from school on buses. The Superintendent and Finance Director advised her that this would create a financial hardship for the district. Mrs. Owen would still like to explore options for transportation of students and possibly have a committee or task force that looks into this.


Mrs. Retherford was glad to see counseling positions being added to the district because of their importance.
