My 6th grader reports that buses to Still MS are still late as she says some bus riding kids are getting to class 1/4 to 1/2 way through 1st period. My kids are lucky, they get into school at just about 8am. Also, my kids bus route/stops have not been resolved but I have given up. The bus drivers are dropping off and picking up at a stop that technically is not a stop. I don't think it will ever be fixed in the computer system. I hope the drivers have been told just to pick up the kids even if they are not at an actual stop.

23 grade-schoolers boarded the bus at our stop this morning. I worry that is too many kids to be hanging out on a corner in the mornings. I know the stops were close together before, but it seems like it would be worthwhile to add a stop or two. Yes, I am glad that a bus actually showed up. Yesterday went smoothly for the grade school bus except that it arrived home about 30 minutes later than the scheduled time. Monday's count was 30 kids at our stop. And the driver doesn't want the kids to stand on the sidewalk near the street, so told them to stand in our yard instead. The bus has been late by 30, 25, and 30 minutes coming home so far. They added a stop on our route and now our stop has around 20 kids rather than 30. I heard that Brooks had 11 bus routes last year, and the new routing done by the district had brought it down to 7. Bad mistake. They are back up to 9 now and I haven't heard yet if all the kinks have been worked out as far as getting service to all neighborhoods that should have it, and having enough stops, and not going over reasonable bus capacity. Since ours is the first stop on our bus, I haven't seen how full it gets, but I would be curious to know since my child reported that one day last week they were 3 to a seat and some seats had 4 kindergarteners. This is unacceptable.

I'd be curious to know if anyone from 780 Shoreline has come out to observe any of these transportation issues.
