District flags routing software and IEP online update problems; asks for drivers
Summary
Special services and transportation staff reported state IEP online updates caused disruptions to special‑education counts, district routing software doesn't integrate with PowerSchool causing manual routing work, and the district is recruiting full‑time and substitute bus drivers.
Pete, reporting for special services and transportation, told the board the district is managing complex paperwork to establish initial ELL, migrant and SPED counts and that a statewide forced update to the IEP online system disrupted district workflows and data submission. "It has been a horrible experience, not just for us, but virtually any district that utilizes the system," he said.
On transportation, Pete said the district's PowerSchool and routing software do not integrate, forcing manual routing and added staff time: "Our computer systems, our PowerSchool system, our routing software, does not talk at all." He said the district has posted for a full‑time bus driver, needs more substitutes and will meet with IT and operations staff to design a permanent fix. Board members acknowledged the urgency and asked for a follow‑up report with proposed fixes and timelines.
