Public: Chimacum district should focus vision, goals Facebook page also among proposals BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
CHIMACUM — The Chimacum School District should focus on a small number of significant goals, hold frequent meetings and create a Facebook page to support the district’s vision,
members of the public recommended. Their recommendations were made at a Wednesday night meeting of about 50 people with School Board members at the high school library, where the district treated attendees to a spaghetti meal. They began in small groups and then expanded to larger discussions about the district’s direction. The district is engaging the community to shape its future, said Superintendent Rick Thompson. “Our purpose is to have a conversa-
tion with stakeholders and community members to find out what they want in the district,” Thompson said. “We want to focus on the school district’s identity and academic programs and build community partnerships.” The school district does not plan to immediately make an effort to pass a construction bond after a $29.1 million proposal failed to gain a 60 percent supermajority for the third time in April.

PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man charged with assaulting a Clallam Transit bus driver and elderly passenger last month posted bail and then was returned to jail the next day after police said he trespassed at a bus stop. Riley Edge White, 59, had posted $30,000 bail Thursday on charges of first-degree attempted kidnapping, first-degree attempted robbery and two counts of second-degree assault after he allegedly attacked bus driver Joy Crummett and 80-year-old Angeline Olsen on a Clallam White Transit bus May 28. Having posted bail, he was released from the Clallam County jail. But he was returned to custody Friday morning for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass because he allegedly violated orders to stay away from Clallam Transit facilities or property, police said. “Officers responded to a complaint that Mr. White was at a bus stop, the bus stop on Fourth Street just outside of the Clallam County Courthouse entrance,” said Sgt. Jason Viada of the Port Angeles Police Department. “Mr. White had been excluded from being on any Clallam Transit facilities or property, so he was arrested by officers because he was trespassing on a Clallam Transit facility.” White remained in jail Saturday on $500 bail for the trespassing allegation. “Whether he bails out or not, we anticipate he’ll be in District Court on Monday,” Viada said.
