District administration reported that special‑education transportation routes have continued to grow and that the current routing is reaching capacity. Dale Heidbreder said the driver (Mr. Young) is running out of room on existing routes, creating the need for at least one additional small bus dedicated to special‑education routes.

The board discussed transportation capacity as an operational priority; no purchase or funding decision was made at the Jan. 13 Committee of the Whole meeting. Administration indicated the matter will remain on future agendas as staffing and routing are analyzed.
