District staff outlines van‑route plans, dry runs and family outreach for fall transport
Summary
Administration said special‑education van rosters will be sent to the contractor July 31, listed an August 24 blackout period for non‑IEP changes, and said drivers will run dry runs and submit turn sheets; staff estimated about 105 van routes for day one of school.
District administration provided details on transportation preparations for the 2026–27 school year. Staff said rosters for special‑education students transported on vans will go to the contractor on July 31 and that changes are accepted until an August 24 blackout period; after that date only IEP‑driven changes will be allowed.
Staff described process controls for dry runs and family outreach: drivers will leave a card when they cannot reach a household, return turn sheets to dispatch for supervisor review, and the contractor must report families it could not contact so district staff can follow up. Administration said it is testing a GPS family app and is "estimating about a 105 van routes" for the first day of school.
Board members asked how the district validates that contractors perform dry runs; administration said drivers submit turn sheets and the transportation supervisor reviews them and conducts monthly outreach when routes change.
