District blames "computer glitch" for start‑of‑school bus routing problems
Summary
Interim Superintendent Tom Manjovi told the board that a technical issue between two systems caused several incorrect bus runs on the first day of school and urged parents to check district messages while staff work on fixes.
Goshen Central School District officials reported bus routing problems on the first day of school that left some parents and guardians confused about assigned runs.
Interim Superintendent Tom Manjovi told the board the problem was a data‑exchange issue between two transportation systems. "It really was a computer glitch between the systems talking to each other," he said, adding that staff are working on the issue and asking parents and guardians to check ParentSquare and district messages for corrected run information.
Manjovi apologized for the stress the issue caused during the opening day and said transportation staff remain available for families who need immediate help. He encouraged families to contact the bus transportation department if they are uncertain about a morning pick‑up.
The superintendent framed the problem as technical rather than operational, saying district staff have already been troubleshooting and will update families when the runs are corrected. He described opening‑day staff activities and praised building and grounds staff for summer preparations, but emphasized transportation as an area the district must improve.
Remarks about buses were made during the interim superintendent’s report at the start of the board meeting.
