We’ve all expressed emotions of amazement, anger, ? and concent. We’ve placed the blame on the driver, the mechanics or the bus. But how many of us have looked in the miiror and placed the blame on our own shoulders where it rightfully belongs. As residents of Yancey County, all of us are , aware of the road conditions and the fact that most of the bnses J on these roads are out of date and have no business carrying the precious cargo they are. How many of us have sat back and ? commented on the situation at some time and hoped somebody would do something about it? it’s time we got up and did something ourselves! We desperately need new buses In the county. Older buses traveling over these gravel roads day after day simply cannot ’ be depended upon. It only takes one split second for something to go wrong and endanger the lives of a bus load of children. We are told by our Yancey County Board of Education that due to increased expenses for the new high school [such as $60,000 for an electric bill alone], we are unable to buy one new bus at this present time. We are deeply in debt for years and years to come, for the mast elaborately designed high school In the state of North CArolina, resulting In a bus route over which students must ride 3-4 ‘/a hours a day. It seems that W e would have been equally concerned with the transportation of the students, whicfiPshould have been first and foremost in the planning of such a change in bin- school system. The need for adult drivers cannot be emphasized strongly enough. Driving a school bus Is the most important job in our schooi system and yet it’s thought of least. The payment can in no way compensate for the responsibility each driver exercises. We need mature responsible drivers that have experience on the roads, and demand respect from students. Is it fair for us to put the responsibility of the lives of a bus load of children on the shoulders of 16 and 17-year-olds? The young man driving the bus that wrecked probably did everything he could to r prevent the accident. But yet it happened and It’s something he’ll live with the rest of his life. Can we even start to imagine the terror that those young people went through when they realized what was happening? Could the accident and the suffering of these children have been prevented if we had acted on this serious situation years ago? Our children are a gift from God for a few precious years. It’s time we put forth all our efforts to protect and insure the safety of these gifts. Can we afford to sacrifice the safety of our children over miles and miles of roads, for a little prestige for a number of people? Is there any way of getting new buses, adult drivers, and better road conditions? Our community seems plenty ready to see. Won’t you help us and other responsible adults In Ihe county in an all out campaign for new buses, adult drivers, and better road conditions. If we work hard together these things will be obtained.
