Discuss failure to stop for school buses during loading and unloading of children, and provide direction to staff. Mayor Hashmi said he placed this item on the agenda, because of the concerns that had been expressed about safety of the children. Chief Hundley told Council that patrol officers were now trailing buses to help with this concern. He also said there was a new program that began that day where PISD had one of their officers on a school bus. Council Member Plata said he did not understand why all elementary schools were not patrolled. Council Member Frierson said it did make a difference when there was the presence of an officer at the school. Mayor Hashmi suggested that the letter received by the Council be forwarded to the Paris News and there be public education on this matter. Chief Hundley said it was in the plan.
