Transportation supervisor: routing changes cut 12 buses and eased overcrowding

Brett Campbell, the district’s transportation supervisor, told the Parma City School District board that summer route redesigns and a late student-information-system rollout forced planners to work from outdated data and condensed the routing window but yielded measurable efficiency gains. "Of course, there's 9,000 roughly students in Parma City Schools, of which about 5,500 actually qualify for transportation," Campbell said, adding that roughly 3,100 students are transported daily to Parma public schools and about 900 to nonpublic/community schools.
