Lack of bus service limits Davis Thomas students' participation in new after‑school program
Summary
Program presenters said the Davis Thomas site lacks bus service, forcing staff to cap participation and rely on parent pickup; staff said they hope to add transportation but a driver is not yet available.
During the program presentation, LC said the district lacked bus service for Davis Thomas, which limited how many students could remain in the after‑school program. "Right now we don't have a bus for there ... I have to start turning kids away," LC said, noting the program drew strong interest but that parent pickup was required at that site.
The presenter said district staff are continuing to recruit a bus driver and are exploring transportation options; the grant included $10,000 specifically for bus transportation, but staff said that has not yet produced a regular bus route for that site. The board received the update as part of the program rollout and scheduled outreach events to increase family awareness and participation.
