Annual Training Meeting, March 27-30, 2006
Lake Yale Baptist Assembly, Eustis, Florida
We have reserved meeting dates for this year’s staff in-service opportunity for driver trainers,
route managers, and others at Lake Yale Baptist Assembly on March 27-30, 2006. The theme
for this year is
“Lest We Forget—Safety First.”
Topics for this year’s meeting were selected
from the planning committee’s suggestions, and we believe the sessions will be interesting,
informative, and relevant for district transportation personnel. We have attached a draft agenda
and the registration form. There is no limit to the number of participants who can attend this
training.
The Florida Association for Pupil Transportation (FAPT) is charging a $50 registration fee to
cover the cost of materials and all lunches. The registration fee does not include lodging at the
Assembly’s campus or additional meals. Confirmation of a participant’s registration will be
based upon receipt of the completed registration form and a check (district/personal) or purchase
order made payable to FAPT.
