Editor,
I have been reading the school board minutes and it has come to my attention that a proposal has been made for the two school systems in Greene County to share a transportation director.
I think this is a sound fiscal idea. It seems to me that this is also a good time to address the issue of transportation for all Greene County students to the school of their choice.
Other districts in Iowa and some in Wisconsin share one transportation system and kids are dropped off at the school they attend, or change buses to get there. Consolidating school bus routes and changing buses is not a difficult thing to do. With a shared director every student in the county could be assured of being transported to and from school from their home.
Being a financial benefit to both schools, this seems to be a good time to implement this.
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Fields
