Sharon Cutler, HHS school parent - grateful for bussing kids across Sunnsyside Road to HHS. Those

from you.

Ammon.
Todd Hicks – I have met with the city of Ammon and the ideas they have come up with for us to
solve this problem is to build a skywalk. The fact is that it’s a five lane road; we haven’t given up on
this as a school district.
Mark fuller – one child at HHS and one at SMS, we are HHS people and our concern is on In-district
or Out of district, leaving it up to principal. I encourage you to provide a set of factors to principal
