Board approves bus routes; district, First Student outline FirstView app and GPS rollout
Summary
Board approved the 2026–27 bus routes (7-0); district and First Student representatives described the parent-facing FirstView app, a new GPS rollout and plans to address short-term driver and monitor shortages and route timing improvements.
The board reviewed posted 2026–27 bus routes and representatives from First Student and district transportation outlined a phased rollout of a parent-facing app (FirstView) and a GPS system to improve route monitoring. The vendor said routes are covered and that an internal activation process will follow route finalization.
A First Student representative explained the app functionality: "So the app is called FirstView," and added that it provides push notifications for families and a district dashboard for live route monitoring. The vendor acknowledged a small, temporary shortfall in drivers and monitors (two drivers short with one starting Monday), described interim coverage plans and said route clearance times improved across the first days of operation; the board then voted to approve the routes as presented (voice vote 7-0).
