Striking students prompt special Sullivan County meeting
Sullivan County superintendent Lewis J. Dinne calls a Thursday Board of Education session to consider eliminating crowded conditions at Sullivan High area buses after a Monday student strike by about 60 Lynn Garden Westview and Kingsport students who refused bus travel for comfort and safety reasons. By Tuesday morning, absences fell to 25 as principals warned penalties for nonattendance. Parents, including Lam Lawson, urged safer transportation, noting broken glasses and injuries on crowded buses. Bus service is provided under Roy Conklin’s contract with seven buses, with routes for 62 or more students, a policy change this year aimed at cheaper yet safer transport.
