Dear neighbors,

The school board curriculum committee met on Tuesday night and discussed the South End BHS bus situation. We determined that it is more feasible to work with CCTA than to change the start time at the high school. Jurij Homziak (Ward 6 commissioner) is working with City Councilor Andy Montroll to draft a joint resolution urging CCTA to create reasonable bus routes that enable students to ride rather than driving or being driven. This is an obvious benefit for everyone. Thanks to all the neighborhood activists who are forwarding this cause -- you are being heard, and hopefully this situation will be resolved for the start of school next year. In the meantime, keep up the activism.

Amy Werbel
Ward 5 School Commissioner
