Commission approves funds to finish Vanderbilt-designed school bus routing program design
Summary
Commissioners approved rollover funds to finish the design stage of a Vanderbilt University–developed school bus routing program that Williamson County and local school systems may adopt; staff said the grant covered design work only.
County staff told commissioners a state grant supports a school bus routing program designed by Vanderbilt University in cooperation with Williamson County and local school bus operations, and the commission approved the rollover needed to finish the design work.
"It was a program that was developed by Vanderbilt University in cooperation with Williamson County and the school bus and the Franklin special school buses," a staff member (Bobby) said. Staff emphasized the grant paid for the design stage and that each school system would decide whether to adopt the program. The rollover passed unanimously.
Commissioners did not set a countywide requirement to adopt the routing software; the appropriation covers the final design so individual school systems can evaluate implementation.
