CCISD launches 'CCISD Moves You' pilot to charter buses and retain drivers for community use
Summary
District staff said the CCISD Moves You program — which allows chartering district buses and drivers for community events and partner organizations — has agreements in legal review and two partners ready to sign. The initiative aims to retain bus drivers and put district vehicles to community use.
Clear Creek ISD administrators updated trustees on CCISD Moves You, an initiative to charter district buses and drivers for community use such as senior‑center trips, summer camps and nonprofit events.
Director of Transportation Tammy Pickett and marketing director Ava De Cardenas described the program as a non‑instructional revenue and community‑engagement initiative. The board approved policy language in May to permit staff to drive district vehicles for non‑school uses; agreement templates, procedures and rate schedules have been developed and two partner agreements are in legal review, staff said. Pickett said the policy is intended in part to help retain and provide additional hours to bus drivers and to make district transportation assets available to community groups.
The nut graf: staff said CCISD Moves You is ready for limited roll‑out once partner agreements are finalized; administrators plan a web page, marketing and a booking process to make it user friendly. Trustees encouraged outreach to local partners, AARP groups and municipal partners and noted the program’s potential to keep drivers employed in the district year‑round.
Ending: Staff said they will finalize agreements with interested partners, publish program materials online once legal review is complete, and report back on bookings and fiscal results.
