Board to advertise for transportation manager as TransFinder rollout is prioritized
Summary
Board members agreed to advertise for a transportation manager or contract support to get routes and operations ready before school starts, and emphasized that TransFinder implementation is crucial to streamline transportation for parents.
Board members discussed the transportation department vacancy with the new school year approaching in August and recommended advertising for a transportation manager or hiring contract support to ensure operations are ready.
One board member said the transportation function has been run remotely and that current staff are overwhelmed; another urged filling the role quickly so the department and TransFinder routing software can be in place for parents. "TransFinder is going to be crucial to our parents and to streamline the transportation," a board member said.
The board discussed whether the position should be a contract hire or a permanent staff position and whether to hire one or two people to support maintenance and accounts‑payable workloads; one speaker suggested adding two positions. A motion to advertise for the transportation manager was recorded (mover identified as "Mister Bote" in the transcript); no roll‑call vote tally appears in the excerpt.
