Parents say bus-route changes delayed student drop-offs; board heard concerns
Summary
During public comment, community members said switching to two evening bus routes led to students being dropped off about an hour later and said the district did not communicate revised drop-off times. They also raised questions about how a nearby consolidation referendum affects co-op activities.
Several community members used the public-comment period to press the district on recent transportation changes and communication practices. One attendee said she "was aware of the change to two bus routes, but wasn't aware kids would be an hour later. There was no communication on the drop off times." She also asked how the Loyal/Greenwood consolidation referendum would affect current basketball and band collaborations.
Other commenters urged the district to maintain spring-sports co-ops with Neillsville, asked whether the district is reaching out to families who are open-enrolling elsewhere, and requested non-teaching vacancies (aides, substitutes) be posted on the WECAN job board. A separate question asked whether agendas could list items planned for closed session, citing practice seen in other districts. Trustees did not take action during the public-comment period but heard the concerns and proceeded with agenda business, including athletics and personnel items later in the meeting.
