7.3.3. Transportation update by Administrative Team

Discussion: Right now, we have enough drivers to cover three routes. We have four drivers, but one can only drive in the afternoon and one can only drive in the morning. The teachers and administrators have been helping out by taking vans and taking students home so that a bus and driver can take our students to activities. This is a shortage that is happening all across the nation.
One of the options that has been discussed is to move our early out Wednesdays to early out Fridays. The reason being that we have no activities scheduled for Wednesdays and we do have activities scheduled on Fridays. This way, the buses could run their routes and still get back in time to take students to their activities.
