X. 2026-2027 TRANSPORTATION  - ACTION ITEM
Description:
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider options for transportation for the 26-27 school year. At the March 9th regular board meeting, the school board approved the following for the 26-27 school year:
1) Implement unusually hazardous transportation plan as previously approved by the school board (saves 3 bus routes for 5th through 12th grade).
2) Eliminate shuttles between the 3 elementary schools — replace the shuttles with 3 new shorter and 3 new longer routes that provide alternative transportation options for elementary students. The 3 shorter routes do not have a fiscal impact because they will continue on as 5th through 12th grade routes as they currently do. The 3 longer routes would have a fiscal impact because they would not connect to 5th through 12th grade routes. However, there would be 3 fewer 5th through 12th grade routes required if the unusually hazardous transportation plan remains as approved.
3) St. John's students would be served by a northern and southern bus route.

Administration shared this decision with all impacted families in early May. Administration and the board received numerous responses from families throughout the month of May opposing this change. Attached please find maps that show the difference between 1.0 miles and 1.75 miles from the school. An option for consideration for the school board is to align the 1.0 mile transportation policy for grades K-8 which will bring back bussing for middle school students who live beyond 1.0 mile from the intersection of Knightsbridge and South Street. Attached please also find policy 751 as it currently stands and then with changes. Approximately 190 families are affected by this change. Administration will work with Lamers to create bus stops in these geographical areas to minimize the impact on the district transportation system. Administration recommends approval of transportation changes for the 2026-27 school year and beyond.
