Viewpoints Board
The Community Viewpoints Board advises the Register Star on the Editorial Agenda and on topics of the day. They are conservatives, liberals and independent. Some are retired. Others are doctors, teachers, pastors, social workers and marketing specialists. Several members of the board agreed to blog on rrstar.com. They’ll share their views here on local issues. Their thoughts – as well as the opinions of other board members – also will appear with other opinion content online and in the newspaper in the Opinions section.

Opportunity

It’s a great opportunity  … the school district needs to save on gas expenditures … kids need to spend more time outside. Let’s get more children walking to school! What will it take? More crossing guards? More neighborhood groups to help guarantee safety and to help parents be comfortable with it? Help to make sure kids have the proper clothing during inclement weather? With this simple old-fashioned exercise and some good fresh air might kids do better in school as a result? Let’s leave bus riding to those who are able to use public transportation to save on gasoline. Whew, this is about a lot more than Jan Herbertsaving on school bus gasoline.

    well then you should go to your neighborhood school, the people who care screwed it up forever… they need to be sued…. Now schools are to far away to walk…. for most … the people who care just wanted their kids in other schools than the one with the best teachers in the area go figure. must have been the students at the school causing the problems, not the school.
