School Buses for Children at Baxter Green
Colette Zito letter to the Pawling Central School District
January 30, 2008
To:
Joseph Sciortino, Superintendent
Pauline Kaplan, President, Board of Education
Richard Miskovitz, Board of Education
Pawling Central School District
32 Holiday Hills Lane
Pawling, NY 12564
On Monday, January 28, 2008 I hand delivered to Pawling Central School District superintendent and school board members an executed letter from Stuart Berelson, Esq. granting permission to access his privately maintained roads for the benefit of approximately 18 elementary and 12 middle and high school students residing at Baxter Green subdivision and surrounding residences. Also, I provided a petition signed by my neighbors at Baxter Green in an appeal to increase awareness of our concerns with safety issues for our children.
At this meeting, it was revealed that this matter is addressed by section 30.17, pages 891-892 of the 31st Edition of “School Law.” It appears to have pertinent language offering possible resolutions for the concerns outlined in our initial discussion at the school board meeting. My review of the case law language is encouraging. To reiterate, the property owner, Stuart Berelson, Esq. has no objection to the use of Baxter Green roads for school buses.
Lastly, if Deputy Sheriff, T.J. Hanlon’s, schedule permits, I volunteer to coordinate his witnessing of our actual experience, thereby hopefully resulting in his report to PCSD of our legitimate concerns for the safety of our children. We look forward to working together addressing all considerations for a satisfactory resolution.
Sincerely,
Colette Zito
With attachments
Cc: Stuart Berelson, Esq
