 Well, as the school year comes to a close, the need for bus drivers and new transportation routes continues to grow for Bemidji area schools. With the new Gene Dillon Elementary School opening this fall, the district is working to get a bus plan in place. The district's transportation coordinator will be retiring in August, so workers underway to not only fill vacant positions, but to design an effective transportation route that will include the new school and a variety of after school activities. This is a giant unknown, and we have to kind of figure out how we're going to work around all that. So we're going to ask parents tonight to fill out as best they can so we can start planning. It seems odd. You were doing May for August. I'm sorry, but we need to get a jump on that. Bemidji area schools will be hosting an open house at Bemidji High School for incoming fourth and fifth grade students who will be attending the new school Thursday evening at six.
