District proposes 3:05 dismissal time for elementary and high school to cut one bus route and save about $250,000
Summary
Staff proposed shifting elementary and high-school end times to 3:05 p.m. to allow bus routing consolidation; staff projected the change could eliminate one bus route and save approximately $250,000 annually, and said after-school activities could start and end earlier.
Board members heard a transportation proposal to align elementary and high-school end times at 3:05 p.m. so bus routes can be combined and one route potentially eliminated, saving the district transportation dollars.
A staff member described the routing change and projected savings: "If we change the end times of our...the high school and the elementary to 3 0 5, we can break up the buses...We potentially could save 1 route...we could potentially save about $250,000." The presenter said extracurriculars would start and end earlier under the plan, and the district is exploring private providers for after-school daycare and other operational details before returning a final proposal to the board.
