District outlines modest 2011‑12 transportation changes and monitoring work for assignments
Summary
Staff summarized outreach about bus service and enrollment monitoring: a hotline produced no calls, 49 online and ~200 paper surveys informed cost‑neutral route adjustments for 2011–12 and staff will continue assignment monitoring and simulations ahead of fall enrollment.
District staff gave a brief informational update on transportation and student‑assignment monitoring tied to the district's broader middle‑school planning.
Transportation: staff said outreach included a hotline (no calls), an online survey completed by 49 families and approximately 200 paper surveys at schools. They described cost‑neutral modifications to the 2011–12 implementation (new service from Treasure Island to Sherman and Chin starting in February; modified stops near the Tenderloin/South of Market; route updates for Bryant). Staff said they are developing an enrollment process for families and planning routes to support full implementation by 2013; more details were to be presented after July.
Monitoring and reporting: staff reminded the board the March assignment run produced a report for families (not a policy evaluation). They noted complexity in assignment requests (about 52 unique tiebreaker combinations), said they are preparing an annual report using October enrollment data and running simulations over the summer, and scheduled ad hoc discussions in May, June and an August 8 presentation of simulation findings.
No action was taken; staff asked board members to identify questions for the annual report and signaled follow‑up at upcoming ad hoc meetings.
