On behalf of all of the children from Leoti who would have had to walk to school today in below 0 temperatures if it were not for in-town bussing, I would like to extend a great B-I-G thank you to Unified School District 467 Superintendant Dr. James Hardy and all school board members of Wichita County who have implemented our bus stops around town!!!
We are going on our second year of bussing in town and it has been GREAT!!! The kids and their parents greatly appreciate this service here! Close to 30 children from pre-school age through seniors in high school board the bus at the bus stop that is located in front of our house. Without the bus stopping here, many, if not most, of those children would be walking to and from school every day in all kinds of weather. There are several other bus stops throughout town. I have heard that each and every one of them has a good amount of kids who board the buses every morning and come home after school via the school buses.
Another benefit of bussing is the fact that the congestion that once was a major problem at the grade school is now MUCH better than ever before. Therefore, school children are much safer than they used to be when they got out of their parents' vehicles.
Again, thank you!!!
