The Board of Education has reached a formal agreement to retain the owner-operator school transportation system. I am currently monitoring the contract transition to ensure all established terms are upheld by the district moving forward.

I was an owner / operator from 2008 til 2013 and I loved my kids and my job. I hope this will come into fruition.

My kids have had the same driver for years and they feel safe. Why mess with something that works for the families?
