    Orleans Parish Shool Board ^ | June 5 2005 | None
    Found this in the Google cache, the minutes from a June 5 meeting of the Orleans Parish School Board. The Board members had a very specific discussion about releasing school buses to the City Of New Orleans for hurricane evacuations. Sorry for the length, but it does provide some valuable insights, e.g., what took the City so long to conclude this deal? They'd been talking with the School Board for at least a year. http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:-NDJWqbkSEUJ:www.nops.k12.la.us/content/board/minutes/2005/bmin060905.pdf+%22school+buses%22+%22new+orleans+parish%22&hl=en&client=opera Orleans Parish School Board 3510 General de Gaulle Drive New Orleans, Louisiana 70114 A Committee of the Whole Meeting of the Orleans Parish School Board...

    The title says it all. NBC News is currently reporting on "Missed Opportunities" -- actions that could have saved lives. One of those missed opportunities is the 200+ flooded school buses. NBC is even referring to the evacuation plan and its reference to the school buses. "Today the mayor would not comment [on the flooded school buses]," reported NBC's Lisa Myers. I kid you not! The report is only five or six days after Free Republic reported it, and only three or four days after Drudge reported it!
