Properly address a stop the ongoing bullying before it's too late for our young children please and provide bus transportation for the upcoming 2020 school year in September as my child will not have transportation and cannot drive at age 13. I pay more than enough property taxes and cannot believe Parma has no recreational facilities for our children and buses to accommdate.
