I - PLAINPEAIER -APR. 20, 1967 $ TRANSPORTATION GROUP ANNOUNCES RECOMMENDATIONS The following are the final recommendations made by the .Blue Ribbon Transportation Committee, working in cooperation with the public schools of McHenry: RECOMMENDATION I "All students living 1 1/2 miles or more from school will be transported free of charge in accordance with the State School Code. We recommend a nominal charge be levied for all students riding who live within the 1 1/2 mile limit distance from their school. Charge will be on a sliding scale for more than one child in a family. "First child, $18 per year; second child, $9 per year; third and all other . $9 per year; $36 maximum per family per year. "This nominal charge is subject to revision based on cost experience. Those \desiring transportation within this limit will sign up in spring so bus contract can be figured. The charge for riding will be due and payable at time of registration in fall. "This fee would include bus transportation both ways for all kindergarten childrenpresently being transported just to or from school. Those, outside the 1 1/2 mile area who ride free would also be given the second ride on school buses at no cost. To economically provide the second ride, we suggest that at time of registration for kindergarten, attendance in morning or afternoon will be determined by area where child lives so that all children from one area can be transported asefficientlyas possible "Second * option - All thosfe students within 1 1/2 miles walk. AH those students outside 11/2 miles ride, according to strict adherance to state regulations. "Third option - We can return to present policy, which will be in effect until next September. RECOMMENDATION II "We recommend that the school board contract with one contractor instead of a number of contractors as at present. Competitive bidding will determine contractor, and performance (if known) will be a consideration also. "We further recommend that present contractors beproperly compensated for their equipment by any changes that are made. RECOMMENDATION III "We recommend that dismissal changed ibbus schedules can be as efficient as possible. There is the> possibility of eliminating twb buses each day with proper eo* ordination of times. -?<i RECOMMENDATION IV "We recommend pick-ig> points be established for subdivision and shuttle bus pick-up to eliminate unnecessary stops which take time and are costly in operation. RECOMMENDATION V "We suggest that a school board delegation approach the city of McHenry Council todiscuss their cooperation in setting up of an ordinancethatwillprovide fpr sidewalks in areas where children will be walking to schools. This would be a great help iji eliminating the hazard of open highway walking. "Procuring crossing guards for most dangerous areas would also be an area where the city and the schools could and should work cooperatively. -«* ! |\* "I(>V !• i ; RECOMMENDATION VI "It has been suggested that in the future, school sites art more carefully considered to place the schools fthere the walking population is. This could be a long-term economy that will affect our school transportation picture favorably from now on. "The committee would like to go on record as commending the present group of bus ^contractors, owners and drivers for their dedication and service to our school systems over their years of service. And we feel sure that the children served by this group of people have benefited over the years from their personal attention totheir job. They have served in a 'more satisfactory* fashion.
