Middletown considers three driver education options
Sam Dalton outlined three alternatives at the board meeting. Sears Easy Method Driving School could provide the program under its contract if an agreement is reached in a Chicago meeting. If not, the district could train its own instructors or allow waivers for private instruction with $50 state reimbursements. An 85 student load is noted, with Sears cited as struggling to supply instructors.
