Pony ride highlights Richland district transport cuts
Evalinda Acala eight years old rode a pony to Golden Oak Elementary as a district message about budget cuts. Richland School District cut two custodians and two bus drivers, shifting to a Walking School Bus plan with aides and radios to escort students within one to one and a half miles. Swaim, resident near Riverside, disputes the method and will attend the upcoming board meeting to press for safer, more reliable options while the district claims to protect classrooms by preserving teaching positions.
