East Lee middle school needs to step it up on working with the kids with one on one learning if they need it. East Lee is not going by the state regulations when it comes to covid-19. I don''t like the fact that they are putting up to 60 plus kids on one bus trip. They need to make extra routes to keep our kids safe during the time the kids get on the bus to the time they get home.
