Smooth out the Compliance Bump in Transportation – Understanding the List of Assurances Requirement Webinar

Below are both the Q&A and Chat remarks from the 5.25.2022 webinar:

Mario Nero

If we do not get a list of students from the school, what is our responsibility to bus students whos parents have never asked for transportation? Is there a form to ask if they even want to be bused? We have a school where half the parents do not want to be bused by us.

Mike Sokol

FYI, My recommendation for every school district when determining if a school meets the 30 minute regulation, do the test run for that school during the time of the school in which you would be running that route.

From Lysa Boothe to Everyone 10:38 AM

we drive a two tier routes and our career center bell schedule is not within the 30 minute time from when the first tier arrives and needs to leave on the second tier. We miss it by

From ccoffman to Everyone 10:39 AM

Regarding #10 - Will we need to take board action within the first 10 days of school? Our board meetings are the 3rd week of the month.

From Chris Passarge to All Panelists 10:39 AM

So HB 110 is useless for planning with non public schools

From Linda Schmidt to Everyone 10:40 AM

Who's responsible for getting bell times to other schools?

From Renee Jackson to Everyone 10:41 AM

We cannot meet the required bell schedules for eligible students because we are transporting our students.

From Melody Coniglio to All Panelists 10:42 AM

So very sad that it seems Public Education Transportation services and funding is being targeted. Yet when the non-public schools are not following the law they have no consequences. This seems extremely one sided in a negative way.

From Marsha Minney to Everyone 10:43 AM

It is challenging also when the non-pub/comm./alt schools do not allow you to drop off students prior to the start of the school day. ex: school starts at 9 am but they will not except any students prior to 9 am

From Tammie to Everyone 10:44 AM

Lysa…. Our district has this type of agreement, we cannot make that 30 minute window. We currently drop 45 minutes early!

From Chris Lake to Everyone 10:45 AM

I have a private school located just outside my district and we currently provide those parents with payment in lieu. If they wanted their students to be bused to school it would require that we add a new driver and new bus to our current routes. Would I be required to take on this additional expense?

From Laurie Lee to Everyone 10:46 AM

Can we have an agreement with the NP to utilize their before/after school program if we can't make the 30 min timeframe for drop off or pick up?

From Mike Sokol to Everyone 10:46 AM

Is there any regulation within this house bill that states how long a student can be on a bus? Is there a maximum time> For example, can a student be on a bus for 2 hours

From ClearForkValley to All Panelists 10:46 AM

What? Is it school days or calendar days?

From Mitzi.Wagner to All Panelists 10:47 AM

If the school contacts parents to find out who needs transportation and then sends the list to transportation, is this enough documentation that the school is doing the contact and you are providing transportation to those that require it?

From Kelli Fromm to Everyone 10:48 AM

60 days from April 1 regardless or 60 days from when we receive their plan?

From Angela Arbogast to Everyone 10:49 AM

is question #11 specifically for nonpublic schools or is this for all schools ?

I run special needs buses for an ESC for any districts that requests us to transport. do we need to answer these 15 questions? the nonpublic school questions would not pertain to us

From Greg Kelley to Everyone 10:56 AM

3327.016 - "for eligible students who enrolled in a community or chartered nonpublic school" Should this continue to come from the parents under the direction of the non-public school as has been the case under 3327.01 and .02?

From amy.b to Everyone 11:01 AM

Is there a form "Request for Transportation Services"? Or are you just referring to those who complete the PIL request or it is stated in the student's IEP?

From Ed Weber to Everyone 11:02 AM

The box is not letting me check it.... I have completed the survey but the certification box is not "lighting up".. I am the superintendent.

From Jim Soyars to All Panelists 11:07 AM

I can't find the Transportation Compliance module in the SAFE Account App Store.

From Robin Ferguson to All Panelists 11:08 AM
