Parents raise ride-time concerns as district publishes student transportation RFP
Summary
Public commenters urged the North Bend School District to address long student bus ride times; Superintendent Tim Crider said a transportation RFP has been published to improve safety and reduce ride times.
Parents and community members told the North Bend School District board they are worried about long student bus ride times and urged quicker relief. Katie Gonzalez addressed the board specifically about how long it takes for her students to get home from school and asked the district to prioritize shorter rides and safer routes.
Superintendent Tim Crider told trustees that the district has published Requests for Proposals for student transportation services, saying the procurement aims at "improving safety, reducing ride times, and supporting student wellbeing." Board members noted the RFP remains outstanding and will be a central part of implementation work tied to upcoming operational changes such as the elementary reconfiguration.
