The committee discussed several items including amending the transportation policy regarding the middle school student discipline plans in order to match the current middle school handbook language, and bus driver accident policy where each driver would be required to do a drug and alcohol test following any accident.

The purchase of a new radio system was discussed because of some disrepair of our existing system. There is an initiative throughout Newaygo County to coordinate radio communications as part of homeland security measures. The committee was interested in seeing if the new company would be able to provide handheld radios for our maintenance crew.

There was discussion regarding the formation of a committee to look at emergency procedures and plans for the transportation department.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,

Scott Bogner

Superintendent
