VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SCHOOL
BUSING CAMPAIGN: It
has come to the attention of many in in the community
that the current school district transportation policies are unsafe for many of
our children. Currently, children who live .75 miles or more away from school
are eligible for busing based on the assumption that children less than .75
miles can walk to school. The problem is that unless a child lives extremely
close to their school, it is unsafe and parents will not allow their children
to walk, especially across Nassau
Blvd., Woodfield Road and Hempstead
Turnpike.
A grassroots campaign to change the district policy (to .3 miles, the distance
from HANC to Nassau Blvd.)
has started to change district policy. An election will take place on May 18th.
Please contact Ann Koffsky (565-4377) if you are able
to volunteer in this effort. Volunteers will be asked, among other things, to
hang signs, make phone calls, or give out fliers on Election Day. If you have
any questions about the issue, you can also call Ann at the number above.
Further information is available on Facebook at
"West Hempstead Voters in Support of Fair Busing."
