In the short term, he <br /> needs to have direct control over schedules work assignments, <br /> etc. in conjunction with the individual school administration. <br /> (See the implementation plan for further analysis and <br /> suggestions regarding this issue.) <br /> 3.6 Transportation <br /> A new category and job description will be created in <br /> Transportation.
