Shaun Hisler had the two big plays on the drive with a 15 yard ram ble and a 22 yard gain on a screen pass. Justin Matteson kicked the pat.

Don’t Turn Our Children’s Safety Over to Strangers. The 20 professional school bus drivers of the Morrow County School District transport 1,400 of our children more than 366,000 miles in the course of one school year. The safety and comfort of those children is the drivers’ Number 1 concern as they carry them between home and school and from school to educational and athletic events. They have maintained their record for safety, courtesy and professionalism in Eastern Oregon’s brilliant sunshine as well as our region’s blinding snow storms, from the Columbia River to the Blue Mountains. The school bus drivers are friends and neighbors. These » men and women have a longtime commitment to our region, our school district and our children. Nearly three- quarters of the drivers have lived in our community all their lives. Some have more than 20 years of service driving our school buses. They shop in our stores, worship in our churches and educate their children in our schools. Soon, the Morrow County School Board will decide whether to turn the school bus service over to an outside contractor, a business which doesn't have the roots in our region that the bus drivers have. SCHOOL BUS Presently, if we have a concern about the safety of our children, about the routes the buses drive, the time of day they pick up our kids for school or return them home, we can go directly to the District superintendent or the School Board with our questions or complaints. A contractor would add a dangerous web of red tape between parents and the safety of our children The School Board should keep control of the school bus service and vote NOT to contract it out. Our children's safety is far too important to turn over to strangers.
