I've got kids in 2 very different schools and we did not receive this letter in any mailouts, snail mailings, or school announcements of any type. And I do read and look at everything my children bring home nightly. No assumptions Dad, just the facts. |

Did you ask the administrators of your children's buildings? Rather than asking the question here, try typing the question in an email to the admins, it really doesn't take any more effort to do that, you know

The schools exist to educate, not employ.

And if you make it a FOIA request, you just might get a response.

Whenever a Trinity bus and driver are used to transport our students, they are accompanied by a Livonia driver who is there to direct the Trinity driver on the route and to manage the students So, we're paying the REAL driver and the BABYSITTER driver for one route? |

I missed this meeting. Can somebody provide more details? Why was an attorney needed? My kids are having problems on their bus and I would like to know if it's the same bus or the same problems. I too have contacted Mr. Dickie several times and my problem has not yet been resolved. |

This young boy lives on Five Mile Road. His assigned bus stop is quite a distance from his home. The side of the street on which he lives does not have side walks which sometimes can be quite an issue when it snows and rains. The crazy part begins with the bus driving right by his house to get to the stop. The family has been trying to get resolution since November had been unsuccessful. Hopefully the attorney had helped. I guess we shall see, if the attorney for the family shows up again. If you listen to the pod cast for the January 14th meeting, it will give you the details. You have to listen to quite a bit of the meeting to get to the audience communications. |

I thought kids living on main roads were picked up at the curb. |

Some (elementary) children who live on mile roads walk to a secondary street within the subdivision to wait at a bus stop. And of course some (middle school) children walk to a mile road or main road for a pickup. |
| I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be WRONG. | |

Are you saying that getting the kids back and forth safely is not worth the price? It's not like we can afford to have extra buses just sitting around in case one needs to go in for repair. |

No, I confirmed we are paying 2 drivers to drive 1 bus. I then commented that it seems wastefull to pay 2 drivers to drive one bus. PS, I hope you are not implying that one of the two drivers is unsafe, thus requiring the backup. However, if you have information to that effect, please contact Mr. Dickey at your earlist convenience. |

I am not implying that at all. I assume that Trinity is requiring that their own drivers be used with their buses, and I am guessing that LPS' contract with their drivers probably requires them to be paid too. I have to believe if there were a way around paying two drivers, they wouldn't be doing it. I would also assume that this is not happening with large numbers of buses, since only a few buses would be required to have service. I guess if it bothered me that much I would FOIA it

You should. It's this kind of waste that is going to cost ALL of us. |
