Woodland school is starting to be a substandard school.
The School Board approve spending approx, a quarter of a million
on cameras for all of the school buses, we pay for the lease of
all the buses, we pay for the fuel, we pay to repair the buses,
we pay to house the buses and I’m not even sure who the drivers
work for…is it Jones or the company out of England?
Most of the Bus drivers (not all) look like they came from the
backwoods. From what I read in the Sun-times a while back the
State of Illinois barred Jones Bus Service from certifying
drivers for 30 days after the company approved a driver who did
not even have a learners permit. Now I hear the school boards
lawyers are getting ready to fight the union and have taken it
to the federal court level in Springfield, Illinois.
Must be nice to have all that tax payers money in the boards
wallet!

If you have more information about this please let me know.
Remember, your school board member, Michael Bond is running for State Senator. You should pass your information along to all your neighbors. If he can’t help balance the budget at Woodland, how is going to balance the budget in Springfield?
Sure makes you wonder how much in lawyers fees this is costing
us. I also wonder about the back pay if the school board
loses the case. They have already lost 3 times.
And what about back pay and interest to 100 drivers!
Now that has to be a ton of cash in back pay!
