Tyler Cox was not available to attend, but provided answers to a number of questions ask by Superintendent Meyerle.

Superintendent Meyerle feels smaller buses are more practical for a couple of routes, and that we would save some costs on bus repairs. He also explained that moving from 5 routes to 4 is possible with number of students, but the pick-up times would be earlier and ride time would increase.
