the Colony School Committee. Chris Fabian, Chairman of the School
Committee presented a petition to the Council opposing the bussing
of Colony children for the school year, 1978/1979 and a letter giving
the following reasons for their oppostion:
1) Increasingly dangerous traffic conditions
on Highway 121.
2) Concern for overcrowded bus conditions
3) To allow younger elementary school children
to attend Colony schools for their education.
Mr. Fabian requested some evidence that the Council would possibly
accept portable buildings as an alternative to bussing. After a
lengthy discussion of all aspects of this problem, the Council agreed
that a letter should be written to the Lewisville Independent School
District stating that the City Council is willing to work with the
school district in solving present and future growth problems for the
school district ~ithin The Colony.
There being no further action to be taken by the Council, Alderman Davis
moved that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Alderman Shipman. The
