MCHS bus driver raises transportation concerns at Dec. 17 board meeting
Summary
Anne Butler, an MCHS bus driver, spoke during public comment to raise transportation concerns; the board recorded the comment and later approved a new Director of Transportation and other transportation‑related staffing actions.
Anne Butler, a bus driver for Minooka Community High School, used the public‑comment period at the board’s Dec. 17, 2025 meeting to raise concerns about district transportation. The meeting record lists the comment under public comments but does not include a verbatim quote.
The item was heard before a series of administrative and action items related to transportation and operations. Later in the meeting the board accepted the resignation of Director of Transportation David Barrett and approved a resignation agreement and release. The board then appointed Sloane Dempsay as the new Director of Transportation effective Dec. 17, 2025, at an annual salary of $90,000.
Why it matters: Transportation staffing and operations affect student safety and daily logistics; public comment from transportation staff can signal operational issues administrators may need to address. The board’s approval of a new director signals the district will proceed with leadership transitions in the department.
What’s next: Administration will implement the personnel transition and follow up on any operational or staffing concerns raised during public comment.
