Board asks for transportation update after K'12 routing changes; district asks affected families to call Miss Bennett
Summary
A board member asked for an update on transportation for students affected by a recent routing change tied to a K'12 implementation; the district said families without expected bus service should contact Miss Bennett and that staff will provide an update at the next board meeting.
A board member asked the Round Lake Area Board of Education on Sept. 8 for a status update on student transportation following recent route changes associated with the district's K'12 implementation. The board member asked which students now have bus service, what steps are being taken to restore service for those who lost it, and whether the minimum distance for busing had changed from 1.5 miles to 1.3 miles. The board member also reported community concerns about unanswered calls and emails to the transportation office and asked what communication the district had provided to affected families. District staff responded that families who do not have busing but believe they should should call Miss Bennett and said the district would provide an update at the next board meeting. No formal action was taken; staff committed to follow up on outstanding service issues, to address communication concerns and to report back to the board at the district's next meeting.
