"JCPS Enhances Bus Transportation for Students"

JCPS (Jefferson County Public Schools) in Louisville, Kentucky, has made improvements to its bus transportation system after facing challenges on the first day of school. The school district implemented short-term fixes, including contracting with Miller Transportation for additional buses and drivers, adding more employees to the hotline, providing alternative transportation for students who boarded the wrong bus, introducing an app to track bus locations, and increasing staff at bus compounds. These measures resulted in a smoother transportation process, with only 17 students remaining on buses at 7:15 p.m. JCPS superintendent Marty Pollio commended the efforts and looks forward to welcoming high school students back on Monday.
