SUBMITTED BY SHARON P. AMON, MD

I don't know if this concern has been raised--
My son's backpack weighs 35 lbs. In addition to this, he often has special projects, bag of soccer clothes, other items, etc. If the school is 3 miles away, he will need a full bike cart to get to school or will need to be driven.

I suggest that if students must attend a school so far away, that the school purchase a second set of books for ALL classes so that the students are not unduly burdened with the excessive weight of their backpacks.

Please consider the cost of this when considering savings from closing our neighborhood school.
