Bus service petition drives Olmsted district board plea
A North Olmsted group urged the board of education to consider an initiative petition to place a levy on the November ballot to restore bus service. They presented a 1200-signature petition for revising bus rules and extending transport beyond current limits while the district saved 35,000 from cuts. The board weighs a levy tied to education needs, with possible August or November elections and a 1,100-signature requirement if an initiative is pursued.
