District reports bus routing 99% complete; vendor contracts to follow
Summary
Facilities and transportation staff said routing for about 9,300 public and 3,050 nonpublic students is 99% complete, simulated runs are finished and routing files will be sent to contractors before contracts are finalized so physical runs can begin.
Mr. Stark told the board the district is routing approximately 9,300 public school students and 3,050 nonpublic school students and that routing is approximately "99% complete." He said simulated computer runs were completed, vendor runs are pending, and vendors will receive route rosters by noon on Friday so they can begin operational runs once contracts are in place.
Stark acknowledged challenges that led to a poor transportation opening last year — a migration to new routing software and data integrity issues — and said the district engaged Ammon Consulting Group to improve operations and vendor training. He said contractor assignments have been consolidated so each school will have fewer contractors serving multiple routes and the district is working on contingency standard operating procedures for common bus issues (incorrect passes, wrong stops) to present to the board in August.
