'With no
exceptions'
"The School Committee
voted ..to bus all students, K-12,
who live outside one and one-
half miles of their schools,"
notes the "Wilmington Town
Crier."
"The phrase "with no excep-
tions' was not made a part of
the policy.
"Committee member Stephen
Peterson said, 'I have a problem
with kindergarten kids walking
any distance.' Committee mem-
ber and Transportation Sub-
Committee chairperson Susanne
Clarkin replied, 'I'm not real
clear on that.'"
Back to school:
Wilmington
Not quite
poetry in
motions-
"A motion was made to bus
all residents grades one through
eight who live within one and
one-half miles of their schools,
plus all kindergartners," notes
the "Wilmington Town Crier"
(please see above).
"Instead of voting on the first
motion, the committee intro-
duced a second motion to go
back to the first motion, and
voted favorably on that second
motion, thus, it appeared, leav-
ing the first motion on the table.

"Despite appearing to leave
an unresolved motion on the
table, the Committee voted to
bus students K-12 outside of the
mile and a half."
No guaran-
tees
"Speaking to Peterson's con-
cern about the kindergarten stu-
dents, School Committee
Chairperson Barbara Breakey
said that busing'all kindergart-
ners would be up to the Safety
Committee," notes the
"Wilmington Town Crier"
(please see above).
"Director of Administration
and Finance Bradford Jackson
said that busing kindergartners
is a safety matter. Jackson said
that 'judging by' the Safety
Committee's past actions, all
kindergartners would continue
to be bused. Peterson noted that
the motion as voted on provided
no 'written guarantee' that all
kindergarten children would be
bused."
White-out
conditions?
"Resident Gerald Cohen told
the Committee that he had sent
a letter to the Committee
regarding transportation prob-
lems created by unplowed snow,
and he asked Breakey if she had
showed the letter to the
Committee," notes the
"Wilmington Town Crier"
(please see above).
"Breakey said she had not
shown the letter to the
Committee.
"Cohen said he had respond-
ed to-the Committee's sugges-
tion that he write a letter to
Safety,Officer Robert Shelley
and to (Athletic Director and)
Transportation Coordinator
James Gillis. Cohen said he sent
those letters via certified mail.
Cohen claimed, 'They will not
reply on how they determine
what is safe.'
"Committee member Clarkin
said, 'I can't respond to last
year's situation because of legal'
issues. Clarkin said, 'If I'm told
by a police officer that a route is
safe (for walking), then it is
hard' as a School Committee
person to ask for a busing
exception on that route.
"Clarkin said, 'We can't make
Wilmington totally safe." She
added that a car could round a
corner and run into a youngster.
However, said Clarkin, 396 par-
ents were asked if all students
should be transported, and only
8.6 percent were willing to bus
all kids.
