Resident tells board merged routes left special‑needs students crowded on Bus 202
Summary
At the Jan. 26 meeting Rachel Livermore told the board that two bus runs were merged, causing overcrowding on Bus 202 that is affecting special‑needs students. The board received the comment during the Open Forum segment.
During the Open Forum at the Jan. 26 board meeting, resident Rachel Livermore raised concerns about student transportation, saying the consolidation of routes has resulted in cramped conditions for vulnerable riders.
Livermore told the board she was speaking specifically about Bus 202: "overcrowding issues for special needs children riding Bus 202 since two bus runs were merged into one." The board heard the comment as part of public comment; no formal action was recorded on the item during the meeting.
Board and administration members later discussed transportation as part of the superintendent's report and the preliminary budget presentation. The district is also placing a bus‑purchase proposition on the March 17 ballot that, if approved, would add six 66‑passenger buses to the fleet.
