Nov. 30, 2021
The National Association of Pupil Transportation Collaborative would provide van service for students on some routes that serve smaller groups of riders.
WTVQ Channel 36 News reports that under the proposal, the district would work with the National Association of Pupil Transportation Collaborative to provide van service for students on routes that serve smaller groups of riders.
All drivers would be required to go through the same background check process as district employees and contractors.
If approved by the board, the pilot program would begin with a few routes in January, using up to 10 vans, according to the district.
The board is expected to vote on the proposal at a meeting in December.
