Board to discuss
school bus needs
The need for additional school buses will be discussed by the A&M
Consolidated School Board Monday at 7:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the
Services Building of the Consolidated Middle School.
The board will also consider the district’s policy for closing schools
during bad weather, said Fred Hopson, school superintendent.
Results from a parents’ survey conducted by the Long-Range Planning
committee may be ready for presentation to the board, said Nancy Donald
son, committee chairman. The statistics have not been graphed yet, she
said. She added that the statistics alone do not completely reflect the
comments made by parents in the survey.
Basically the comments show high interest in the development of
reading skills and career training programs, Donaldson said. “Career train
ing doesn’t just mean vocational training, but includes counseling for any
kind of career after high school as well.”
In other action, the board will consider information presented by its
Board of Equalization as well as reports from the Community Education
Committee and Building Specification Committee.
