THEY'RE VOICES ARE BEING HEARD.
PARENTS WHO WERE OUTRAGED OVER THEIR CHILDREN'S BUS STOPS OUTSIDE THEIR PRIVATE AND GATED NEIGHBORHOODS ARE FINALLY GAINING GROUND.
GOOD EVENING I'M LINDSAY LOGUE.
AND I'M PETER BUSCH.
THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD TONIGHT DECIDED TO KEEP BUS STOPS INSIDE THOSE COMMUNITIES.FOR NOW.
NBC 2'S KIM BROWN WAS AT THAT MEETING AND JOINS US IN STUDIO WITH WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
Return to index of stories...
THE BOARD HAS HEARD PARENTS FOR MONTHS COMPLAIN ABOUT BUS STOPS THAT WERE MOVED OUTSIDE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG BUSY ROADS.
IT PROMPTED THEM TO TEMPORARILY MOVE THEM BACK ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS LOOK AT THOSE STOPS.
THOSE RESULTS ARE IN.
BUT THE BOARD STILL WANTS TO LOOK FURTHER BEFORE MAKING A FINAL SAY.
Return to index of stories...
ABOUT TWO DOZEN PARENTS POURED INTO THE BOARD ROOM IN YELLOW T-SHIRTS TO PLEAD THEIR CASE AGAIN.
One day four cars raced by the stopped bus. I would grab my kids hands and huddle them together and run to get on and off the bus
THEY'RE UPSET THEIR CHILDREN'S STOPS WERE MOVED OVER THE SUMMER, FROM INSIDE THEIR PRIVATE ROAD OR GATED COMMUNITY.
ON TO WHAT THEY CALL AN UNSAFE BUSY ROAD.
lee boulevard is a six lane road.
THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY ASKED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS TO GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT IT.
ACCORDING TO THEIR FINDINGS.
THE STOPS ARE SAFE.
BUT THE BOARD STILL WANTED TO KNOW MORE.
I think we need to meet with the communities and talk with them directly about it in their community.
THEY VOTED TO MEET WITH ALL NINE COMMUNITIES INVOLVED.
THEN RE-EXAMINE THEIR POLICY.
AND THEN FRAME A POLICY THAT'S FAIR FOR ALL.
When these kids are standing at the bus stop before that bus stops and shows up, ate they sage then, that's my concern.
THIS MEANS THE STOPS WILL STAY INSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOODS, *FOR NOW.
We won the battle but the war is still up in the air.
AND WHILE SOME PARENTS ARE HAPPY THE BOARD IS LOOKING INTO IT FURTHER.
THEY SAY THE PROCESS ISN'T MOVING ALONG FAST ENOUGH.
I feel like this is just a way to drag out everything and keep us pacified for now. But I am hopeful were not giving up.
Return to index of stories...
IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE BOARD HAS ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED.
ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEY COULD TAKE A VOTE, BUT THERE'S NO TIMELINE ON HOW QUICKLY THAT WILL HAPPEN.
SO THE STOPS, WILL STAY INSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOODS UNTIL THEN.
Return to index of stories...
USUALLY, NOTHING HAPPENS.
BUT A FUN AND EXCITING PARASAILING TRIP COULD TURN INTO A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION IN A SECOND.
IT'S HAPPENED IN FLORIDA.
SOME STATE LEADERS SAY, TOO OFTEN.
THIS IS THE SCENE OF A DEADLY ACCIDENT, AUGUST 15TH, IN POMPANO BEACH.
28-YEAR OLD KATHLEEN MISKELL FELL BETWEEN 150 AND 200 FEET INTO THE WATER, AFTER HER HARNESS BROKE.
Return to index of stories...
IN AUGUST 2007, NEAR THAT SAME BEACH, 15-YEAR-OLD AMBER WHITE AND HER 17-YEAR OLD SISTER CRYSTAL, WENT PARASAILING.
THE WIND PICKED UP, AND THE TOWLINE ATTACHED TO THE PARASAIL SNAPPED.
THE GIRLS FLEW INTO THE ROOF OF A WATERFRONT HOTEL.
AMBER WAS KILLED.
CRYSTAL SUFFERED PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE.
Return to index of stories...
ALARMED BY THE DEATHS-- SOME STATE LEADERS ARE REINTRODUCING A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD TIGHTEN INDUSTRY REGULATIONS.
NBC2'S CHRISTINA LUSBY IS LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM WITH MORE ON WHAT THE NEW RULES WOULD MEAN FOR LOCAL PARASAILING BUSINESSES AND YOUR SAFETY.
CHRISTINA?
Return to index of stories...
RIGHT NOW--PARASAILING BUSINESSES ARE SELF-REGULATED.MEANING THEY INSPECT THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT.
THE NEW REGULATION--WOULD PUT MORE RULES INTO PLACE--INCLUDING ROUTINE INSPECTIONS.
Return to index of stories...
TO DANGLE YOU HUNDREDS OF FEET ABOVE--IT ONLY REQUIRES A CAPTAIN'S LICENSE--AND SIGNATURE PROMISING TO FOLLOW LOCAL RULES.
CITIES AND COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE ISSUE A BUSINESS LICENSE BUT NONE--PHYSICALLY INSPECT THE CHUTES LINES OR HARNESSES.
IN FACT.NO AGENCY PHYSICALLY DOES.YOUR SAFETY--IN THE HANDS OF THE CAPTAIN RUNNING THE BOAT.
FOR STATE SENATOR MARIA SACHS--IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH--AND AFTER TWO RECENT DEATHS--SHE WANTS TIGHTER REGULATIONS SAYING QUOTE "florida is a natural magnet for adventure-seeking tourists.but we need to better ensure that they are as safe in the air as they are on the ground and this legislation is designed to do just that."
IF ADOPTED THE BILL'S NAME WOULD HONOR TWO PEOPLE WHO DIED WHILE PARASAILING.
28-YEAR-OLD KATHLEEN MISKELL WHO SLIPPED FROM HER HARNESS AND FELL TO HER DEATH LAST MONTH.AND 15-YEAR-OLD AMBER WHITE WHO'S ROPE SNAPPED IN 2007.
SOT-MOM
14:18:03 It was pretty obvious right away they were using substandard
equipment because the rope broke.
I don't believe it was an accident, I believe it was negligence
INTRODUCED BEFORE--SENATORS ARE RE-NAMING THE BILL--CALLING IT "WHITE-MISKELL" TO REMEMBER THE LATEST VICTIMS.
IF ADOPTED--IT WOULD ENFORCE STATE REGULATIONS OF THE NEARLY 120 PARASAILING BUSINESSES ACROSS FLORIDA.
THE BILL REQUIRING INSURANCE COVERAGE--DEFINING PARAMETERS OF WHERE THE CHUTES CAN FLY AND INCLUDE INSPECTION OF EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
AMBER MAY WHITE'S MOTHER
I'm angered. People keep dying, people keep getting injured, I mean I lost
my child and my other child will never be the same again

THE COLLIER FIRE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES WOULD COORDINATE AREAS LIKE HEALTH INSURANCE, OFFICE SUPPLIES AND FUEL.
IT WOULD BE 100 PERCENT RUN BY THE FIRE COMMISSIONS.

THE GROUP NEEDS A DECISION BEFORE OCTOBER FIRST FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES.
45:50 right now we ran into time constraints 4 sec
BUT THE OPTION IS STILL THERE --
ONLY ONE OF THE FIVE DISTRICTS NEED TO AGREE AND OTHERS CAN JOIN LATER.
IT'S AN OPTION EAST NAPLES FIRE CHIEF KINGMAN SCHULDT WILL CONSIDER.
44:17 its my responsibility to look at every ave to save money - like joint purchasing health care anyway to find relief during these tough financial times:27
EAST NAPLES WILL MAKE THEIR DECISION TOMORROW ALONG WITH GOLDEN GATE.

SOME LEE COUNTY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS COULD GET RAISES.
THE DISTRICT IS WORKING ON A PLAN TO PAY THEM MORE.
STATE LAW SAYS THE DISTRICT HAS TO DEVELOP A SALARY SCHEDULE BY 2014.
THAT MEANS ADMINISTRATORS CAN EITHER BE GRANDFATHERED INTO THE CURRENT PAY SYSTEM, OR BE PAID BASED ON PERFORMANCE.
THE PROPOSAL MEANS ADMINISTRATORS COULD EARN A ONE OR TWO PERCENT RAISE BASED ON HOW EFFECTIVE THEY ARE.
IT MEANS EVEN MORE MONEY IF A PRINCIPAL IS APPOINTED TO TAKE ON A STRUGGLING 'TURN-AROUND' SCHOOL.
NO WORD YET ON WHEN THE BOARD WILL VOTE.
