Superintendent proposes adjusting school start and end times to capture busing savings
Summary
The superintendent told the board the district discovered significant savings in busing and said staff will bring a proposal next week to adjust start and end times for all four schools to gain additional efficiency and state reimbursement.
The superintendent reported during the work session on May 13 that the district has identified “significant savings in our busing” and proposed adjusting the start and end times for all four schools to realize further efficiencies and increase the district’s state reimbursement for transportation.
Speaking during the superintendent report, the administrator said the district had discovered savings and that staff would “adjust some of the start and end times of our 4 schools” and would bring exact times back to the board next week for placement on the agenda. The superintendent framed the change as a way to capture additional subsidy from the state concerning busing reimbursements.
The superintendent also briefed the board on recent staff community service activities and reported the district passed its Title I audit; auditors reportedly said the district’s audit materials were well prepared and raised few questions.
What happens next: the superintendent said staff will return with the specific proposed time changes and related details at the next meeting for board consideration; no motion or formal vote on schedule changes occurred on May 13.
