002board members we do have one recommendation but before we go through the recommendation we support I would like to go over some background and some information May the spirit of being transparent with the community I will I do have a presentation that I want to go through and also some details that I would like to quote so before we begin with our transportation presentation number one I want to personally take the transportation department in our drivers despite of having a great shortage in despite of An emperors in trying to recruit we are capable to be able to find out to 18 drivers but nevertheless right now we're managing and making it work with only a drivers our bus drivers they have taken upon themselves to be team players and I want to appreciate the flexibility

003and availability I want to thank the um so far for taking additional routes I want to thank them for the extra hours and they put it into to be able to manage transporting our students with the equipment that we have as well as the main power that we have to my parents are presented also in the community I want to thank them for their understanding and for reaching out either by telephone or by email or by being a government or Express their concerns and also most importantly to be part of the solution by also going on sharing what other options we could explore I want to thank the bearings for also being flexible in other understanding that despite what a shortage and the equipment that we have um they have many of our parents that

004have taken it up on themselves supporting my driving their children um even though um transportation by law is not required by District our Republican board has been very supportive to be able to continue to offer Transportation so our students and based on our community they have access um it's it's Transportation it is um it is seen in our district a supply area protection is there um to my students I owe them a big apology and I want to personally apologize to my students for enduring what we have been trying to work which is they've been entering with the heat they've been in there with a delays they've been enduring having to be so proud of buses it's not their fault and I want to apologize to them and also to our parents and this is

005something that you will see based on the information that we have how long ago we've been working on this and trying to address this is on a good note I also want to express that well this problem is fixable and then there's a solution and I want to move um having said that I want to express some words of appreciation through the transportation committee that we started starting back in February for their wisdom for their advice advice and ability to be able instrumental options available keeping the map in mind number one the student safety or two ways to provide more efficient grounds to our students three while in training to our loyal bus drivers and bus in and most importantly finding a solution that will continue to support and protect our employees our bus drivers

006have been loyal to us and we want to make sure that whatever decision that we make it's also in the best interest of our employees um some of the short-term adjustments that we have been easier to be able to alleviate the Transportation challenges we have to adjust the dismissal times so that they're close to this missile and they will be able to pick up the students and our bus drivers they are going picking up some students dropping them out locally in the company marketing here more students right um I also want to pay my parent case as I have two families that they have been quickly traded in how to drive the small buses and they have stepped out and making themselves available as needed in the near future so they're ready to be deployed

007at any time when our transportation department itself and we have also based on our current buses so we have um we haven't put all of our buses right now with bottles of water to dry in the network community [Applause] level provides of water I want to also bring to the attention to our parents what are we going to do differently in the starting to win um thanks to the support um in in some of our partners I've been looking and its Glory effective Monday we're gonna have two additional bus drivers with air conditioning and to additional bus drivers that will help us reduce the number of students and begin normalizing the routes temporarily renting the buses until we get our permanent buses our goal is to be able to get two buses this year they

008can begin replacing the buses that I have inherited in um based on today's recommendation or within the next 30 days we'll also have um they're building a full-time two full-time mechanics to be able to maintain and repair our buses and keep them on Top Notch to ensure that they don't break it we don't have a way to know when the buses are going to break down but we do are at the best [Music] the most equivalent work [Music] preventable service that they that they require we're also going to have up on training for bus drivers and staff and our goal moving forward is to continue to have one bus every single year and the budget allows it up to two buses our goal is to replay this follow the old buses that don't have air

009conditioner with buses that do have air conditioning and buses that we need to is not in our best interest to replace them all at the same year we have to have a cycle to replace him so we can maintain um long-term salary um having said that at this point uh Mr base if you don't mind bringing the powerful presentation which one is it it is the transportation company to the members of our audience if this was a PDF copy it's not the power pointer can we go in the next slide uh government board members and members of the community right now we have what it is our Fleet and on February I was the name of the permanent superintendent and one of the first uh items that we gave us to be able to look

010at the transportation to what we have and based on on the preliminary review as you can see we had seven buses in great conditions it's a good condition um and we have about 14 buses that weigh their new repairs or are not longer reusable so this is based on the information the bus provided by our transportation director at that point in two weeks if you completely and two weeks before school started we were able to bring um two mechanics to be able to support all three of mechanics to be able to look at all the buses to ensure that everybody and um after seeing and giving the repairs before school started um the the condition of all the buses will change and even though we did everything we could have done to prevent it we're

011still playing with some of the buses they're all in despite all the main reason we gave them they're still breaking down so that's something that happened into the long-term vehicle fixed um in the based on our planets began printing for buses um purchased steel that will be at 1206 and moving forward will continue to look at one or two buses each year and this was all the ones that are no longer working next slide I want to also give a shout out this is our committee we put together multiple people from the from the district to be able to see who can help us and to explore all of the different objects we have two board members we had also a director uh from transportation and we started with also our office manager for transportation

012one of my bus drivers Mr Delano we have our brand um staff of typical we also have a consultant that was helping us join the legal process um what are the some of these options and the director of operations are our CFO and also to administrators in our our goal was sorry that's what I want to be able to begin with four additional drivers we're looking at how we can begin offering more competitive Wages that's still one of the options that we are exploring you can see how how do we can come back um the one to show our appreciation for bird bus drivers but how do we make the wages competitive to attract not only board members of the nature but other outside bus drivers to come into organization but that's something that is

013still under study um our consulted the opinion has those results in cooking area um they've started salaries around artists from the neighboring districts we won top-notch training for our bus drivers we want to ensure that we have mechanics we needed to look at how to get upgrade not only the systems and also what are the retirement options for some of our bus drivers and the number one is to ensure that whatever we bring temporarily that has air conditioner given that our buses right now do not have Airport and this is equipment again that I heard it some of our buses they do have air conditioner coming around the parks so we're still waiting until all the parts next slide so like I mentioned earlier um I was honored and I'm still very honored I'm very

014proud to be the superintendent on February 15th I was in the superintendent okay Transportation like in February became my number one priority and that's when we begin with a committee as of March we were not exploring some options we opted to do an RFP which is a legal way to a place um a formal request for different companies to come and help us who can we partner we send the notification to about 600 companies and only three responded to willing to explore and being Partners out of the three companies we had one that actually followed through and it has been time not only getting to know the team getting to know the term Protection Team trying to load equipment and looking for them at that point coming up with options and how they get partner

015with us um as of me by name we had our vendor uh meeting with us and by June our committee has reviewed the proposal and we were ready to move forward um and uh so part of the process today we need to determining equivalent of water with VLAN which is the the Builder of this over 6 funded and they're willing to um partner with us and address those solutions by bringing additional bus drivers we're getting additional air condition buses bringing additional routes um for our after school programs as well as our athletes uh drug protection and they also working with this part of allow us to have not only a training but also a manager as well as the two full-time mechanics um in the next one so then this week um what we have

016in last week has been that time not only in meetings with our transportation department but we also wanted to inform the community once we knew exactly what we were doing and what we knew um what gradually we're going to go we um we began providing um the video to the community we said I I scheduled a meeting to be able to address the community and also we offer the meeting virtually for anyone that wanted to attend so today uh video number three which is uh coming before the governing board to be able to make a recommendation to finalize the RFP in a process so that they can begin working on the action contract and and begin working but you make it a recommendation uh except in my recommendation today more than allow us begin the

017full-time transition and within 30 days we'll have a full transition partnering within life um having said that if you don't mind bringing the uh my memo is it that one the first one I'm sorry no that is my that is that is that is a memo uh this is an abstract the um RFP uh the acceptance um what is saying is you know what I have before um our our members were present and also because of the community it is explaining what I'm going over um it's we have 600 vendors I think we over six a little movements about um and however we only have one that was willing to follow through and honor partnering with us um based on on how much it costs uh to run Transportation by primary is going to cost

018us 15 more even though it may sound like it's not financially um ideal or responsible do you know where we are embrace all the options we need to then look at that not the cost but what is the benefits at this point our students cannot pay the consequences of what do you need and being on the buses on route for our bus drivers for being buses that we don't know the benefits will will balance the 50 um and the also by law it need to fill out a lot better and and we can move forward and allow the law allow us to be able to move forward um so there's no one else you want to do uh or the natural interest in partnering with us with us having said that Mr Bates if you

019don't mind going to the second page where I have a recommendation for the government board will be in September 1st through August 31st that is you can be like both will have the opportunity to continue to contract each year throughout the four additional years that is my recommendation uh before the government board and at least four and I'll take any comments or questions transportation I had to be coming comments for the benefit of our community and our staff I feel like um you know I'm a little bit you stepped into a place where um all of this has taken place before you got into that position and as soon as she got into that position of the superintendent we had immediately so let's just work on that and so I'm really I'm really thankful for

020that um I believe that you know even though there's going to be an increase in the amount that it's going to cost you to get the um this contract for a year that our kids aren't going to be the ones to suffer because right now it's hot our buses start breaking down you know there's there's just you know it takes hours for our kids to get home um and that's because some some of the drivers have to do a couple of routes just to make sure that you know there's there's not overcrowding and the healing and I'm so glad to hear that there's water on the buses for them so I I believe that if beeline comes in and does what it says it's going to do as far as the contract that the school

021is going to benefit because [Music] um you know they'll be able to see especially with the mechanics we've been trying to hire Mechanics for a long time and we don't have any uh diesel mechanics that are that are available or or working um that you know have come and stepped up so I think you know that what this change um it's gonna be better and and and B-Line it's this contract is only for a year so we get to see that change and the possibilities and and look at maybe if um something isn't working out we can make adjustments to that and it's not like we're set in for the next four or five years with the with the um the B-Line Transportation but for us it's like we need this where we really need

022to have something and moving forward have a plan on what you mentioned about the buses the you know rotating and making sure that we have good buses and and we're providing the time we continue to provide the transportation so I see it as a benefit um I'm just I'm just really ready to move forward on that um I I also feel the same um I guess one of my questions is um right I guess I don't know if you know because we don't ever direct you here but how many uh how many do we have that are running routes that do not have the AC they don't know um I do have a couple of drivers and [Music] um Francesca confirmed with me yes I mean I guess 15 over the over the current [Music]

023um the increase that the math happened I guess we actually do have that available I guess make making sure that something that we can cover without jeopardizing whatever other things that we need to do um Peter to bitcoin what are the second priorities that I have as a superintendent in an effort to be able to compete with all the districts um it's to be able to have housing and unfortunately I'm gonna have to put that priority as taken because right now what I need is my students to make it to school um as we go through the year we're going to find ways to be financially responsible to be able to find the funding so we can begin increasing the number of housing that we have available uh the housing right now we have a

024targeted for for primarily teachers um but nevertheless we have you need not only for teachers working in the middle of everywhere and we need to make sure that we recruit from everywhere and to do so one of the ways that I can compete is by offering affordable housing not only for teachers and administrators but we also need to prioritize on our bus drivers they're the ones that have to be extremely early and by having housing we need to be able to expand and recruit more so unfortunately right now we're borrowing the funding that we have allocated for housing so that we can move forward with Transportation um that would be that answers um also as Kathy mentioned I think that in the long run in hopes that we do do the year of the contract

025and I understand it couldn't be up to four years from your recommendation um but in my in lieu of that that there be a committee the committee I guess there has to be formed on planning what we're gonna what we're gonna foresee for next year over the next few years um and you know and I'm glad that that the company that has spent forward to assist in this in the the situation that we're in in regards to Transportation thank you very much and a course like as Ruben has shared we are really proud and thankful for the drivers that are here I wish that we could have more and I don't know if you know we'll definitely hoping that HR will do instead intensive recruiting in that area so uh but with that I'm ready

026to move forward also thank you thank you excuse me uh just one other thing I'll let you describe for being here and I appreciate all you do um my question would be um I know it does talk about they might go with beauty line or stay with your Amina to school and I don't know how many of I decided to do that I did but that's what I'd like to know anything uh based on what I I surveyed my Transportation staff on Monday and when I asked how many will feel comfortable in this school staying under on payroll um it was a hundred percent of them want to stay under our payroll um however they wouldn't continue to be under vision of our partner midline the only the purpose of us managing the beautiful day

027so their retirement doesn't get effective but at any point if they feel that they want to get under the be like people and I think that it's called by going with a big line they don't have they have other options when it comes to retirement or the current salary but those um I have committed to be able to play these options in the team and if the board chooses to move forward with it we'll spend plenty of time so they can fully understand their options so that they can decide what option they want to move forward our best interest to support our transportation department our goal is to retain them how they want to it's gonna if they for me I think we need to request something to be one of the president need some

028more drivers um if our goal is to not only to recruit but most people in maintain our bus drivers that would not be an obstacle and in working with you right now make sure that we both have the understanding in the first to clarify just exactly how many drivers do do we have here in the district we're currently not 80. and then we're gonna bring in two or four more on we have a requested to be able to um temporarily higher for additional bus drivers as early as Monday we will have the opportunity to have two additional bus drivers through big line we also going to finalize one person that is willing to work with us when do the interviews before working there's the the application process so we'll have as early of this week

029we might be able to have up to three a b line will could be to have up to four so a short term will give out a total of additional Five drivers that will solidify show the routes and less crowd advance for our uh less crowded buses and we will have uh currently four buses with air conditioner and we're waiting to purchase the R2 that will increase our free avoid a total of six buses with air conditioner that is a process that's something that is not going to happen overnight the person we have two coming into Monday we're hoping to get two by the end of next week and we'll have a based on the vendor that we're working with they're letting us know that around September we'll be able to as the devices that

030I'm trying to purchase but that's out of my control it will get here when they get here okay what's up what's up um that's good to hear that there's no bus drivers um but also this is this is an opportunity for bus AIDS to really work on their um sales to be bus drivers so really really and and I'm so glad that there's going to be an emphasis on hiring um because I think that made it to happen a long time ago so um and like everybody was saying thank you to your bus drivers that are here and this is this is going to affect you but also I also heard quality training so that's going to be coming forward to you but really the buses um take a chance and move back to be

031a bus driver because we really really need bus drivers uh just just the last thing I think especially because I know as far as the pressure that we've been aware of from the community um it was always the intention to move as quickly as possible but I don't want there to be any misconception that we're rushing into something that we haven't had a lot of discussion about or a lot of definitely concern and a lot of input and a lot of questions especially when it came to making sure that our that our employees felt as comfortable as possible and I know that wasn't always possible the innocence of how an RFP process looks um but it's a small town and so everyone everyone essentially knows that that the moves that have to be made are

032not always going to be very popular but but I do want the the general public to understand that you know we had I think we had been asking for committees prior and this is superintendent it's a goal um one or two about kind of really trying to re-engage with what it is that we need to make sure is there and it's appropriate um and our response as the board of how are we going to help to fix these things and make sure that that we're providing what's necessary for everyone to do a really good job um so I have to 100 agree with everyone here and I know Miss Anna Marie is on online that I think we all rested really well that you all just got it done so thank you so much to

033the bus drivers but it is not ever us on us to question or or to say you aren't doing a good job I think we and I have to say that as as a whole should have done a much better job supporting you and making sure that you're not in the situation that you're in right now because it happens every year it is always hot and it is always cold and we we wait until we hear the complaints and then we want to do something so a full accountability I think that's a board member it's important for me to address that to to you all especially that are here but to the public as well that you know we we don't really focus on the things other than that main priority of educating children but

034if we couldn't get them to school there's no one to educate I think we're missing that just a little bit and it is important for us to make sure that something is done so I don't I don't want there to be any any misunderstanding that again that this board is just rushing in to work with with a company who said yes um because we did go through the process of trying to look for others that were available to you to assist and and beeline is is the one who stepped forward and has been very open and very um Hands-On and during this entire process which I appreciate and I know that I'm sure the discussions with the drivers um I'm sure they appreciate that as well because I think that that's all we want um

035communication and some some sense of uh you know we have the best intention so um I know that there was a lot of discussion but I also wanted to be very clear what what the public as well that we also do not have a transportation director at this point and so that is another reason that we have to kind of be very Swift in our action and I'm making excuses and I don't want anybody to say well you know what maybe he said but there are some very strenuous issues that are online but ultimately our kids are are the same kids our our children our nephews our grandkid are all as important to make sure that we're taking care of them so um I don't think there's any any other discussion on this before it

036was just too massive more clarifying questions but other than that I'm I'm in support of moving forward yeah um based on we're going to have extra drivers on Monday is that from beeline that is buses but your recommendation is that the effective date of the contract would be September 1st that is correct that is the contact but nevertheless I outside of this contract and without any compromise of where the board was going to go I requested support and I wrote a purchase order to rent additional uh buses and additional bus drivers uh in this so this contract so I have temporary uh submitted a request to high uh to hire for uh let's try to rank for bus drivers and four buses is there to cover for the next communities what the Constitution takes place

037yes this is not part of the contract no so that however it's doing the contract that's also embedded that is correct yeah I have questions now so we know the ball part of the cost is going to be 15 more than what we're actually paying starting in September one what is that cost then for August every bus is about 400 a day a large part is about 400 a day and for the uh because it's not part of the RFP this is outside of the art in the rental um I also have the representative of VLAN on the weekend is available would like to answer any of those questions um if the board has any specific questions um number one I would like the community to know have a face of full big line in

038run by and number two is the answering the questions the incoming individuals are con are safe the individual was coming for August will continue they're not just coming into August and leave by September one you can you can come up and answer key thank you Mr President Mr superintendent and members of the board uh yes that is a true statement the the drivers coming in are individuals that we have identified that are interested in staying with the community and transporting these children so they're anxious to get started uh burning the area and and having a full understanding of the community so they are not ones that are just going to transition and transition out if the board chooses to move forward on a full contract they would like to stay in these positions and as

039much as we possibly can we'll identify individuals that want to stay that's the best for the kids to have the consistency and a routine driver that learns them learns their routes knows the families and has an understanding president Maria [Music] um the buzz drivers that are willing to work with us to relying they're looking for housing as well to be able to for us to accommodate them because they're going to live here in the community to be able to address them into the community we do have one unit available right now um but Mr um Kitty he's looking at what he said how to bring one of those trailers to be able to set a temporary housing for them as well they have to have a place to live yeah and they're willing to do

040it superintendent house um thank you sir thank you thank you for the responses um that's from Dallas then be a question do we have to approve that we're going to prove that later no you're doing if that is um it doesn't exceed the procurement that's not just the purchase of our proposition for August 11th through the business days last week school days do you know the uh the amount can you help oh my God thank you um so the requisition that was put in for the manager um that is temporary for until we I think by a directory for transportation and the manager that was going to help to train um our our previous director um that was a requisition but it was put in for 6 500 for those days um the I asked

041about the hours that were going to be worked each day because I wanted to know the breakdown of what the hourly rate would be they submitted on their quote Monday through Thursday it would be 12 hours 6 a.m to 6 p.m and on Fridays it was eight hours and so that totaled up to the 6500 um so it was about 224 hours total of work from the 7th through the 31st and then on the other requisition that was submitted um it was it stated that bus rental and Driver um is 450 dollars we did an estimate of 30 days because it was submitted at the beginning of the month so we didn't know when it would start and then it says well sir that's for the bus rental but it says try to come here

042drivers eight hours per day at 320 a day and then they also included overtime at um fifty dollars per hour and that's just an estimate just in case there's any overtime done and just keep in mind that um this also includes you know any administrative fees for a beeline because they're payment driver so that's not exactly what the driver will get I just don't want that to be misconstrued their way any anyone in the public or the employees I don't want them to think of that but so that's what we have here from the beeline quote have any more questions so I can do the math because out here it's estimated for 30 days and this total requisition was for 97 000 and 400. that includes 100 hours of overtime 30 days for eight hours

043for drivers and that's for drivers or bus rentals at 450 for 30 days but as we spoke about it's we don't have 30 days left in August so it's 19 days yes if they start on the 7th they'll be 19 days 19 work cases um [Music] it doesn't honor yes I think that as far as additional responsibility to me I agree a lot of people were trying to stand in the way of it I think we just want to make sure that you guys understand that but also I wouldn't have a problem with sort of being into what you're talking about now by extending the effect of date rabbit and having you do all of that but I'm just because I thought that's what we were going to do and I meant to mention is

044this is a start date that's later wouldn't we just enter into it sooner than instead I'm just saying it because I feel like that might help because this doesn't this sounds a little bit like we may just have that because the last thing on is generally throwing something here yes I do not know how long or how many questions or if if you would not want to be able to move forward with this contract or not but nevertheless I needed to have a bad apple and I need to start relief as early as as Monday so this is also a part of our intention to be able to move forward in having our students uh the support and my privacy support that they need so the power significance if you would like to unmain my

045recommendations it's in in your purview as well been the other concern is did you have that discussion with feline and is that something else even I don't know does that throw any wrenches for you but this is what else can I can be lying amend the contract to start an earlier date and then send us the contract so we can have people review it that's a question you probably have to take back right yeah yes so so just the challenge with that is the amount of lead time traditionally when a district seeks help from a contractor usually in the summer months and you have some lead time to prepare um if the board which would be very grateful of course whatever date you choose but it does decrease the amount of lead time that we

046have to be successful and we want to come in and be very successful for you and so this transition it's it's stating specifically drivers and statements specifically buses but you're also going to have other components of that if the board makes a decision to partner with Community lighting there are other individuals that are going to be on site that are going to be maintenance people starting to look at those buses you won't effectively be paying them now but this perch sort of covers those extra people coming in checking out the air conditioner starting to look at the plate determining what we can fix right away quickly what needs to be outsourced so that we can make recommendations to the superintendent and your administrative team and this is a great for us to keeper this one

047isn't working so they're going to be other pieces moving so hopefully have a successful start for the community on September 1st if we do start on August 7th it's kind of like we dropped into cold water and uh you may not think that we are successful as we have the potential if we have more preparation time and I don't disagree that that the all of that would come September but I'm just thinking thinking out loud here but for the sake of covering what we're doing now as opposed to not the effective would be specific to what you had already agreed to be effective September I mean August 7th September one let's start what you would agree September one is that I would have no problem with that I think that's the direction the board wants

048to take and provides you with whatever yeah it wasn't actually to swoop in on Monday yeah [Music] for the sake of record and our approval that that's at least what we needed at this point no I just thought that since beeline is coming in on Monday that question uh guess what could it be done but I understand the other portions that you're talking about that I'm coming into look at the buses the manager and all the you know all that other stuff that that's going to happen with with with our contract with you but we did also to begin with and then I also thought about the audience what does that going to look like and president media members of War to clarify is how much it will cost for that the following 17 I
