"JCPS Transportation Changes Spark Community Concern and Calls for Superintendent's Removal"

Jefferson County Public Schools board members have approved changes to start times for at least two dozen public schools, aiming to end bus transportation for most magnet schools and consolidate all schools to three start times: 7:40, 8:40, or 9:40 a.m. The district has struggled with efficiency and getting students to school on time, prompting the decision to streamline start times. Specific time slots for each school have not been announced, and some schools may move to a different time slot.

"JCPS Considers Solutions to Address Bus Driver Shortage and Potential Service Cuts"

Jefferson County Public Schools is considering a new transportation plan to address a severe bus driver shortage, with options including eliminating transportation for some students, operating central hubs for magnet and traditional schools, or maintaining the current system. The district's analysis indicates that only the option to provide transportation for resident students would reduce the number of routes and alleviate bus delays, but it comes with its own challenges. With the shortage expected to worsen next year, the board will make a final decision in March, while also exploring driver retention and recruitment efforts.

"EBR Students to Experience Changes and Improved Bus Service Starting Monday"

Starting Monday, middle and high school students in the East Baton Rouge Public School System will have earlier start times at 7:05 a.m. and later dismissal times at 2:27 p.m. to make up for lost classroom instruction time due to a bus sickout and early dismissals. Elementary school students will not be affected by the changes. Students have also received new bus cards with updated routes and are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early at their bus stops.

EBR Parish School System Sticks to Start Times Despite Substitute Motion

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board rejected a proposal to change school start times and instead passed a substitute motion that requires transportation updates, reinstates transfer points for elementary-age children, and asks Dr. Narcisse to develop a new plan. The decision has temporarily maintained the normal start times for students, but concerns about bus availability and conditions remain unresolved.

JCPS aims to resolve transportation crisis and resume in-person classes by next week

Jefferson County Public Schools in Kentucky plans to return students to class by the middle of next week after experiencing transportation issues on the first day of school. Some students spent hours on buses, getting home as late as 10 p.m. Superintendent Marty Pollio blamed the implementation of new bus routes and school start times for the problems. The district will have an updated timeline for parents by Saturday and is working to fix the issues before students return to school. The district recently started using an AI program to plan routes and assign bus stops, but the changes have caused confusion and frustration among bus drivers and parents.
