I believe a serious safety issue has been created by discontinuing transportation services to the children of Yorktown Manor and we have adversely impacted our children’s ability to take full advantage of the many educational opportunities that are provided by our School Department.

Respectfully, I request you to provide your response, ASAP, to School Committee Secretary Laureen Berglund (with a copy to me), or by no later than 7 p.m. on Monday evening.  Please note that this is not a request to determine if you can attend this meeting, but rather to get your approval to hold /conduct this meeting.  Absent your response by Monday evening, I will request Mrs. Berglund to contact you by phone on Tuesday morning, provided we have not received a quorum vote to hold a meeting. Should a positive quorum vote be obtained, each member will be immediately contacted as to the time and place of the meeting.

Thank You, 

Bill Mudge
