A request has been made by the Oakesdale School District that we no longer go into the town of Farmington to pick up students. Superintendent/Principal Bill LaMunyan explained to the Joint Board that he had contacted Oakesdale Superintendent, Steve Deal, last year and had received the approval to go into the town of Farmington to a designated bus stop in order to pick up the approximately 13 students we have choiced to Garfield/Palouse. Mr. Deal at that time gave the approval as long as we were not going from house to house. Mr. LaMunyan stated that the designated bus stop is a safe and secure place for the children to wait and also allows our bus plenty of room to turn around. Paul Hendrickson stated that he would like to make the recommendation that we continue picking up the Farmington children as per the gentleman’s agreement made between Superintendent/Principal Bill LaMunyan and Superintendent Steve Deal and per the wishes of the Farmington parents. Darin Watkins asked that a letter be drafted to the Oakesdale School Board that included the points of the gentleman’s agreement, the safety issues concerned, and the request evolved from Farmington parental input.
Superintendent/Principal Bev Fox asked the Boards if anyone was interested in attending the WASDA legislative assembly meeting this year. Anyone interested should contact either Mrs. Fox or Mr. LaMunyan.
