Board tables transportation consultant contract as busing survey continues
Summary
Board members discussed hiring a transportation consultant to optimize bus routing after a parent survey; preliminary survey responses (about 23% of parents) showed roughly 76% morning and 83% afternoon planned busing use among respondents. The board moved to table the contract for further review.
Board members discussed a proposed transportation services consultant on June 9 to analyze routing and reallocation of buses after a recent parent survey. The discussion noted that roughly 23% of parents had responded to the district survey at the time and that among respondents about 76% planned to use morning busing and about 83% planned to use afternoon busing.
Members said the consultant’s routing work could produce savings by right-sizing runs but urged caution about signing a contract before a larger sample of survey responses is available. The board discussed timing and whether the contract could be postponed until a fuller set of responses and additional analysis were available.
A motion was made to table the transportation consultant item for consideration at a future meeting and the board agreed to hold the matter until additional data and routing analysis can be presented.
