Ottawa School Briefs Adds Bus Route To District
The Ottawa school board approved an amendment to the eight route, $203000 contract with D and H Inc increasing by 1500 monthly for eight months to add a new bus route after middle school moves. The change raises total to about 2800 monthly, within the transportation budget. Applications for Local Education Agency services and Safe and Drug Free schools were approved, funding supporting the district's resource officer and DARE program. Bond drive for an $11675 million middle school continues with ground demolition planned for the former facility at Fifth and Main. A bond committee led by Cheryl Sylvester pursues yard signs, letters, and ads to bolster support. Three aides were hired: Cheri Mustard, Lynn Evans, and Mary Kay Wood in a paraprofessional and Title I roles.
