Parent raises transportation accountability concerns after student missed bus to Armstrong
Summary
A parent told the board his daughter was not placed on a bus to Armstrong Middle School and said district transportation staff did not take responsibility; he asked the board to investigate and urged use of the curriculum‑policy meeting to raise such issues.
During public participation, Frank Barnhart described two recent occasions in which transportation failed to place his daughter on a bus to Armstrong Middle School. Barnhart said he arrived at the school and could not secure a timely explanation from transportation staff; he said the district’s response left him considering contacting emergency services and asked the board to investigate the incident and transportation accountability.
Board members acknowledged the comment, with President Morgan offering contact information and assuring Mr. Barnhart that the matter would be considered. Barnhart pointed participants to the monthly curriculum‑policy meeting as a public forum for raising policy questions and requested clearer accountability from the transportation department.
The board did not take immediate disciplinary action during the meeting but indicated staff would follow up with the speaker to review the incident and report back.
