It is not god to have small kids on the big field when the older kids are practicing. Thanks to the school board for this it was getting to be a safety concern with so many people sharing practice fields This has been needed for a long time.

I forget how many buses (less than 25, isn't it?) we have, but some can be parked at Bratt, some at Northview. (If all else fails, I guess we can park on the football field. Eight feet wide, give them 4 feet between buses makes 12 feet, times 25 should take 300 feet. YES! The football field could handle the load. It might even make any games more interesting, too.) David who'd rather park in Bluff Springs notice there are twelve buses parked at the bus garage in this picture

They could really use that for compounding the buses over the summer and during the school year. Starting this school year drivers that live within 2 miles of their compound schools are suppose to compound their buses. Next year it goes to 6 miles and then 2012-2013 school year ALL buses are to be compounded. The Walnut Hill bus garage doesn't have the room to compound all the buses and driver's vehicles. We also have schools that don't have the room to compound the buses and vehicles. The district is not being very smart. I don't begrudge the ball park their space. i think it great that they are able to provide the children with activities, but the district could solve a big problem with some of the space.
