Jack Denison, Transportation Supervisor, told the board that student ridership remains steady at about 900 combined for morning and afternoon routes and that the department is actively training two new drivers with plans to recruit more over the summer. Denison described bullying on buses as an operational challenge being addressed through staff training and monthly meetings focused on definitions and resolution methods.
Denison also referenced Senate Bill 6260 and its potential to change C and D bus depreciation schedules from 13 to 15 years and to alter electric bus depreciation amounts if passed.
