West Geauga board approves three-year Transfinder agreement for student transportation tools

The West Geauga Local School District Board of Education approved Resolution 299, authorizing a three-year products-and-services agreement with Transfinder to support student transportation routing and operations. Board members described the implementation as a phased rollout. “This will be the slow rollout where we initiate 5 at a time, with drivers throughout the year,” a board official said, adding that Transfinder’s implementation will coincide with bus assignments for the next school year. Board members asked clarifying questions about the product during the vote, and the resolution passed on a roll call with all recorded members voting yes. Board discussion did not include dollar amounts or licensing details in the transcript; staff indicated a gradual deployment with drivers and buses added in stages. Staff will proceed with the phased rollout and coordinate training and bus assignment timing with Transfinder as described during the meeting.
