| May meeting set on bus-route bids
Facing dozens of questions about its bidding process for 29 contract bus routes, the Greater Clark County School Board voted unanimously yesterday to discuss the matter at a meeting May 1. "It was a total surprise," board Chairman Robbie Valentine said of the calls that the system has received since last week about the Jeffersonville, Charlestown and New Washington routes. They are operated by contract drivers who own their buses rather than by district employees driving system-owned vehicles. .

Idol Bids Farewell To Sanjaya
"American Idol" will no longer be graced by the presence of Sanjaya Malakar. The under-talented but unflappable singer who captivated millions of fans was finally voted off the show Wednesday night. When the result was announced, Malakar wiped the tears from his eyes and got a bear hug from LaKisha Jones, the next lowest vote-getter.
"I'm fine," he told host Ryan Seacrest. "It was an amazing experience." "I can promise you: We won't soon forget you," Seacrest replied. Malakar then performed one last song, "Something To Talk About." Putting his own twist on the song, the 17-year-old known for his pretty looks and ever-changing hairstyles ad-libbed: "Let's give them something to talk about ... other than hair." The fact that Sanjaya was voted off last night must have been music to Simon Cowell's ears.
