ucation has said a full-sized station wagon may be substituted for the van, although Hr. Gangel noted he is still awaiting written confirmation of that ruling.
With the fall cross country season over and spring field trips still months away, the only program relying heavily on the van is the pre-school handicapped classes, the superintendent said. “We have a car which can be used for that," he added, noting that cars — both school-owned and private — remain acceptable means of transporting students. “My recommendation is to take the van off the road."
This edict “out of the blue" is just another example of “authority being taken on by the state and out of the School Board’s jurisdiction,” said Chairman Beverly Massie. “I'm afraid we’ll see more things this year that we’re told to do by the state instead of being asked to do,” she warned, protesting against the lack of leeway time for compliance with the directive on the van.
“1 don’t like it being done by bureaucratic edict instead of legislation,” Bill Oliver said. "1 wonder where they get the authority? What are they going to do if we don’t comply?” *
“I have great trepidation . . . about sending any of our children out in a van that the state says is unsafe,” Mrs. Massie cautioned.
