Superintendent: start-of-year transportation routing problems require time to fix
Summary
Superintendent (named in transcript as Dr. Grante) told the board the district and contractor CRIS are working to resolve bus-route and ride-time issues that emerged in the first days of the school year and cautioned there is 'no quick fix.'
The Big Spring School District superintendent reported at the Sept. 2 board meeting that the academic year had begun positively but that transportation routing and ride times had produced complications in the first five days. "There will be there's no quick fix," the superintendent said, describing intensive work with the contractor CRIS and district staff to adjust routes and address onboarding issues for some drivers unfamiliar with local routes.
The superintendent said the district currently has drivers for every bus but acknowledged some ride times remain unacceptable for families while staff work through routing permutations. Board members were told the district and contractor have met multiple times and are making incremental fixes; the superintendent asked for patience from parents while teams continue to adjust routes and schedules.
