SOUTH HADLEY — School Committee approved yellow-bus violation monitoring system after rejecting a broader plan. The Committee voted unanimously on the revised plan to cover yellow buses only, after initially voting 0-5 against a proposal to cover all transportation vehicles, with presentations from Assistant Superintendent Lyn Jacques, South Hadley Police Lieutenant Mark Baran, and Michael Gorman of BusPatrol. Superintendent Jennifer Voyik's summative evaluation was unanimously approved, and the Committee unanimously accepted a Home Depot grant for South Hadley High School.
The Committee unanimously endorsed a $3.5 million override vote for September 1 and voted to make that day non-school.
