Copper Center in attendance ; the meeting was

reasons for calling the joint meeting. The
high school students in the Kenny Lake area
need transportation to and from the Glenn
alien High School. There arc eleven students
who should be in high school, who are now
residents of the Kenny Lake area. Some of
these children have already made other arr
angements for the coming school year ( such
as bearding at Copper Valley Mission), but.
at least 5 of the children still have the
problem of adequate schooling.
After discussion of the matter, a motion
was made by Dr, Schneider of the Glennallen
School advisory Committee, to send a letter
to the Board of Education from each ad
visory School Board in th o area, urging the
State Board to provide transportation from
Kenny- Lake to Cooper Center, and from Ga
kona to the F.lu,. These buses would connect
with the regular school buses going to Glenn
allen.

the thanks of the Kenny Lake people who
were allowed the opportunity to present their
problem,
