Summary
The transportation director reported two new buses placed into service, two electric buses on the factory line expected by March, improved sports shuttles and recent hires. Facilities reported certified playground inspections, audits of roofs and mechanical systems, and expanded internal training and equipment use.
The district transportation representative told the board two new buses have been received and placed into service and that two electric buses are on the factory line with an expected arrival by March. He said sports shuttle operations are running efficiently after assignment of dedicated drivers and that recruitment filled several open driver positions.
The transportation remarks included staff recognition: Ray Anthony, who has been with the district four months, and Gina Ventura, who coordinates field trips and maintains routes, were singled out for exemplary service.
Facilities director Tim Mace reported recent audits of playgrounds, parking lots, roofing and mechanical systems and noted the district has obtained certification to conduct playground inspections. He described internal "huddle" meetings that surfaced productive cross-training, and demonstrated use of heavy concrete-polishing equipment to improve campus floors; staff members Arcelia and Martha were recognized for operating the equipment.
Both reports were presented as operational updates; no procurement votes, contract awards or budget changes were presented for board action at this meeting.
