Wayland-Cohocton Board of Education will meet at 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 23, in the LGI. Along with regular business, the board will discuss potential transportation changes for the 2012-2013 school year. Under consideration is a change to the school transportation policy eliminating transportation for students in grades 5-12 who live within a one-mile walking distance from the Wayland campus. This includes the vast majority of the village of Wayland and some properties on Deiter Road and Buffalo Road. The financial savings would be between $50,000 and $75,000 and decrease the number of buses that would need to be purchased.

The community is encouraged to attend the meeting, particularly those who may be impacted by this change in policy. Before a change is made public, a referendum by all voters will need to be held and the board would like to hear your input now. A map is available on the district’s homepage of the areas that will be impacted. If you do not have Internet access and would like a copy, please contact the school at 585-728-2212.
