tion to look into outsourcing
(transportation) which was
discussed in length about
the School Busses. Several
Board members discussed
how employees could lose 15
days of pay but if contracted
out they would continue to
get their pay and it also if it
is contracted out they would
like to keep it in Crawford

decided to let Randy Robin
son get some contract figures
to be discussed at the next

have a plan but we have no
plan.” He also stated, “We are
taking the escalator instead

something different. “
