Carlisle Area SD staff say driver roster and vendor list will be presented for board approval in two weeks
Summary
District staff reviewed the annual list of bus drivers and transportation vendors, said the fleet includes larger ROAR buses and about 65 vans, and told the board the item will be brought to the full board for approval at its meeting in two weeks.
Board members at a Carlisle Area School District committee meeting on an unspecified August evening reviewed the district's annual transportation items, including the roster of drivers and the list of contracted vendors that provide pupil-transportation services.
District staff said the main fleet consists of ROAR buses for large routes and a set of smaller vans used for specialized transportation. A staff speaker said the district operates roughly 65 vans and that not all vehicles are on the road on a single day. Board members asked whether the district was still recruiting drivers; staff said they were still seeking additional hires but that preparations for the school year were proceeding positively.
Board members also confirmed the non-ROAR vendor list remains unchanged from the prior year, and that all drivers must pass required screenings before working for the district. No formal vote was taken; administrators said the board will act on the annual transportation roster and vendor approvals at the regular board meeting in two weeks.
The committee did not provide cost details, route counts, or a final driver-by-driver list during the discussion. Staff did identify Roar as the primary bus vendor and named other contracted providers as the smaller-vehicle vendors used in prior years.
