Snowmobilers want to ride to school
MAZOMANIE, Wis. (AP) — The student parking lot at the high school in Mazomanie could be filled with snowmobiles if the school board approves.
About 20 families in the Wisconsin Heights School District are asking the board to allow students to ride snowmobiles to school.
Meghan Meinholz says she'd rather ride her snowmobile to school than drive her car. Her father, Vern Meinholz, oversees snowmobile trails in the area and put in a trail at Wisconsin Heights High School.
Superintendent Mark Elworthy says the school board will meet Monday night to consider guidelines that will allow the students to ride their sleds to school as long as trails are open.

Marymac4 - The reason we try to correct every error is because there are so many of them - Your FOURTH grade teacher doesn't want you to look like a dumb hillbilly that never graduated from elementary school. So spell the word FOURTH right next time! LOL

I had never heard of rules against it. We rode sleds every day there was snow in Clinton.

Why not?? They don't take up as much room in the parking lot and You can not fit five or six friends on the sled. In Minocqua the kids take them to school.

greengina8: "up there"?? Wisconsin Heights High School is about 30 minutes west of Madison. Maybe you were thinking of Wisconsin Rapids? Or instead of Mazomanie you were thinking of Mosinee?

Does their municipality allow snowmobiles on the roads there? If it does, why not? They get a lot of snow up there. The kids would still need a drivers license, though.

I think this would be safer and more fun for the kids... wish I had this option when I was in school... not that I owned one then but that's not the point...

The trails lead to schools too? I thought they only lead to bars.
