Unit 5 Gives First Student Until the Weekend to Get Bus Problems Fixed

School Bus Contractor First Student has until the weekend to fix Unit 5's busing problems or lose its contract. The contract states that Unit 5 has until Oct. 1 to notify First Student that it would be terminating the contract, effective at the end of the school year. Superintendent Mark Daniel recommended the board exercise that option at Wednesday's meeting, but First Student says they have a plan to correct the problems and is asking for more time.
