Summary

Staff proposed adding one bus driver (creating 10 runs and 12 drivers), converting the trip coordinator into a year‑round director of transportation and having the director of operations assume food‑service duties unless a separate director is hired.

As staff reviewed cost centers 8–11, they proposed one net new bus driver and a restructuring of transportation and food‑service leadership. The plan would create ten runs staffed by 12 drivers and make the trip coordinator a year‑round director of transportation; one driver would be assigned as head bus driver with an additional hourly wage.

Staff said the director of operations would assume food‑service responsibilities if the board did not authorize a separate food‑service director. The staff presentation framed the transportation changes as the only new positions in the budget and described the changes as designed to meet operational needs and provide coverage for runs.

The board did not vote on the staffing proposal during the meeting; the item remains part of the proposed budget and will be included in staff’s revenue and reduction presentations at future meetings.
