Board asks transportation to set 20‑minute threshold for late‑bus alerts to families
Summary
Following reports of a 30‑minute late run, the board directed staff to define a notification threshold (superintendent suggested 20 minutes) and work with the transportation coordinator to enable voice or text alerts for parents when buses run substantially late.
Trustees told the superintendent they want a clear parent‑notification process when buses run late after members described an instance where a run arrived roughly 30 minutes behind schedule and parents received no morning notice.
The superintendent proposed a simple threshold: if a run is expected to be more than 20 minutes late, the district should send an automated voice or text notification. “Anything greater than 20 minutes, hey. Send send a voice mail out for you guys' thoughts,” S2 said when summarizing a proposed approach. The board asked the superintendent to meet with the transportation coordinator and report back with a recommended communication workflow.
The board emphasized particular concern for younger children who may be waiting alone and for families who rely on morning bus service for breakfast and timely arrival at work.
