Public commenters urge larger budget increase and call for improved bus safety
Summary
During public comment, residents asked about grant‑writing responsibility and urged the board to exceed a 4% budget increase, to reinstate driver education resources and to prioritize bus and sports‑bus seatbelt safety.
At the March 12 meeting, public comment included questions and requests related to budgeting and transportation safety. Christina Bartlett asked the board who is responsible for grant writing for the district. Holly Armendola urged the board to consider a budget increase larger than 4 percent, called for driver education resources (including a drivers education car), emphasized the importance of seatbelts, and raised concerns about bus and sports bus safety.
The board received those comments under its public comment policy; there was no formal board action recorded on those items in the minutes. The remarks were entered into the public record and will inform board awareness as staff finalize budget and transportation planning.
