To the Editor:

I am a 50-year resident of DeKalb with two daughters who are former DeKalb High School athletes, and a local businessman. Being a retired teacher in DeKalb of 31 years, (29 years coaching football, wrestling, and track) I have taken many bus rides.

I appreciate the administration’s and school board’s recent greatly improved DHS student infraction statistics noted in the Daily Chronicle, and their prompt handling of student discipline after a recent spontaneous, albeit unfortunate and senseless, incident on a bus ride returning from a wrestling meet.
