PHILIPSBURG:--- On April 7th 2016, a joint meeting was held between the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports, headed by the Hon. Minister Silveria Jacobs and the Ministry of TEATT headed by the Hon. Minister Ingrid Arrindell, with the intention to work collaboratively to come up with a short term and long term solution concerning the School Bussing Transportation Service.
Both Ministers give the green light for a joint School Bus Committee which includes prominent members of both Ministries, since both Ministries are working on a solution to come to a more efficient, safer and cost effective School Bussing Transportation Service for a number of years.
The joint Committee had its first meeting on April 12th , 2016. The Committee is working diligently to come up with a short term and long term solution and will report to their respective Ministers within short. The strife is to look for solutions which are fair and encompasses the current operators and government in the short term, as well as solutions going forward in the long term, which government feel will be beneficial to all parties involve.
The committee has another meeting scheduled early next week after which they will complete a report and plan of action to the respective Ministers. Once the plan is approved by the Ministers, a information meeting will be scheduled with the current operators.

Let us continue to work together and work and push St. Maarten Forward.
