Through the combined efforts of the Cove Creek Community.' Cove Creek P. T. A., and Cove Creek High School, permission has been obtained to close the road directly in front of the Cove Creek High School between the hours of 12:00 and 1:00 p. m. Due to the building project now underway, there is a shortage of space avail able for bus parking, necessitating parking buses along this road.
