We, the parents/guardians of students riding Bus 8-20 of East Lake Elementary, Union Grove Middle School and Union Grove High School; as well as supporters/students urge you to rehire Jerry (Buddy) Kelly to his position as our bus driver. Buddy Kelly was encouraged to resign on 3/21/08 and would like to return to his position with the Henry County Transportation Department. He was voted Henry County Schools Hero of the Year in 2006 for good reason. He is a dependable, humorous man with a very caring nature. We have complete faith in Buddy and trust him with our children/teens, because he has never let us down.
Please consider our request to allow Buddy to return to his position and make a difference in the lives of our children/teens.
