## Resource

Bus woes continue in Mill River as the Tinmouth route stays canceled—though students can still catch a ride from Wallingford Elementary if space allows. The district’s pushing to reinstate it soon by getting another driver cleared, and they made the tough call to cancel it to minimize student impact. Meanwhile, Shrewsbury’s route got trimmed, and with over 60 open bus driver jobs across Vermont, the school board may lobby state reps next year for help. On the bright side, facilities are improving: summer paving, a playable (if rough) football field, and high school gym work nearing completion. The buildings committee is drafting a five-year plan, while finance folks are kicking off budget talks with community input sessions set for October—with a healthy $3.5M surplus thanks to fewer unfilled positions. Next up: school board meeting on September 16 at 7 p.m. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
