Mrs. Rica C. Banning u.. i...u s /d[.4./.., o Commissioner E-Montgomery County Norristown, PA 19404 j

Dear Mrs. Banning:

The Board of Educatiun of the Wis, sat.ickon School District par--

ticipated in the survey for emergency evacuation in Montgomery County as a part of the emergency preparedness plan.

At the time, there was consider-1 able discussion by the Board regarding its willingness to provide buses and/or drivers in the case of a nuclent accident.

Since the emergency preparedness plan covers all types of emergency evacuations, including fire, flood, earthquake, etc., the Board ultimately decided to pledge its resources to assist the population of Montgomery County.

The possibility of g nuclear accident and the implications for i

the use of our buses was the basis for coasiderable disagreement. The Board's action to participate in the plan was based on the assumption that l

the evacuation plan was a draft and would be returned for final approval to school district agencies. Since no separate vote was taken, I cannot speak in terms of a Board decision.

Iloweve r, a strong concensus emerged that in the case of a nuclear emergency our buses would be made available and our drivers would be contacted. The Board does not believe, however, that it has the authority to order any of its employes to drive a bus into an area of nuclear hazard.

i i

If I can provide any other information regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely.

i a
