Regional Office of Education reports busy quarter: 473 bus drivers trained and nearly 1,100 fingerprint sets processed

Megan Martin, representing the Regional Office of Education (ROE), told the board the ROE’s two offices trained 473 bus drivers across 15 classes this quarter (about 31 drivers per class), handled almost 1,600 telephone calls, and served about 1,900 walk‑in patrons. The offices processed nearly 1,100 sets of fingerprints during the three‑month period, many for newly hired school staff or contractors working on construction projects at schools.

Megan thanked county staff who attended a quarterly superintendents meeting and said the ROE presented the county’s Level Up Grundy County plan to area superintendents. She said the ROE looks forward to supporting the plan.
