Summary
Superintendent Tim Thomas said the district plans to purchase 'Bus Right' routing and communications software at about $24,000 per year, with roughly half reimbursed by the State Department of Education; trustees asked for a future ridership report.
Superintendent Tim Thomas presented a proposal to acquire 'Bus Right' routing and communications software for the district’s transportation program. The software is estimated at approximately $24,000 per year; Thomas said about half of the cost would be reimbursed by the State Department of Education and the local levy proceeds will cover the remainder.
Trustee Laura McGeorge asked the district to return to the board with bus ridership numbers after implementation so trustees can evaluate effects on route efficiency and cost. The board did not vote on final procurement terms at this meeting; Thomas framed the purchase as a levy‑funded upgrade planned for the coming fiscal year.
