I went to bed the night before the first day of school worried about what could happen. Even with all of the changes we have made to improve on transportation problems of the past who knows what can happen.
Whew! The first day went off with hardly any glitches. I visited 5 schools and the first question I asked at each one was whether or not there were any busing issues. The answer was a resounding no.
I attribute the changes to much planning, dry runs before school started, communication improvements, and most importantly asking how we could change (and listening to the answers) from the people who are on the front lines; bus drivers, transportation workers, and parents.
