Summary

Dyan Hanley resigned as the district’s transportation director. Denise Rick will serve as transportation coordinator, Heather Webster returns part time for administrative support, and several drivers are in training or recruitment to restore substitute coverage and improve route stability.

The board was informed that Dyan Hanley resigned as director of transportation. The chair thanked Hanley for her service and said the district appreciated her work.

Denise Rick will step in as transportation coordinator to manage day-to-day operations, and Heather Webster has agreed to return on a part-time basis to help with administrative tasks. Staff reported a new driver has completed training and will begin a new route the next day, another driver is expected to finish certification by the end of January, and a third candidate is in the hiring queue to be trained as a full-time substitute.

District staff said they will not immediately post the director position, preferring a short period of stability while the coordinator and returning staff manage operations. The district acknowledged ongoing inconvenience to families from changed routes but said the staffing steps should restore consistent service when new hires complete training.
