Opening Comments Home-to-School transportation is not required by the State of California The exception is for students with special needs To balance the budget for 2010/11 the Board adopted a plan which reduced services throughout the District The Board directed staff to look into complaints by parents about safe “"Hub"” locations This report will describe concerns staff has been made aware of and what has been done to mitigate those concerns The report also shows the cost to return to 2009/10 service levels and the impact if services were eliminated all together 1
Reported Concerns & Steps Taken to Address Those Concerns II
2 REPORTED CONCERNS
6 Reduction of Service
Adding Services Back Re-instatement of any area would cost more than what was saved due to: Loss of trained staff Time and expense of training new drivers Increasing supply inventories to service a larger fleet Updating routine maintenance schedules to permit the certification the buses needed (taking the fleet out of “mothballs”) 8
