Submitted by bblair on Tue, 03/17/2015 - 10:53am

This is a followup regarding the school transportation issues which were discussed and strategized about in our February Dorchester Civic Forum meeting.

This Wednesday, March 18, at 7pm at the monthly Meeting House Hill Civic Association meeting at First Parish Dorchester, the principal of the Orchard Garden School will talk to attendees about the busing issues that students in our neighborhood are experiencing. It is important that they get a good crowd and, in particular, that they get families of Orchard Garden students to attend. Attached is a flyer that MHHCA made in English and Cape Verdean. This is our opportunity to have an impact on this problem, and have our resident driven solutions take hold.
