Transportation Update 12/2/20

TSD Transportation News:

It’s important to develop contingency plans during the pandemic regarding TSD Transportation Services, as we have experienced staff shortages in other areas.  The priority now is to continue to transport elementary students to school, and to provide service to our extracurricular programs that are still open.  If we experience shortages, the first priority will remain transporting K-5 students to school.  In the event of more extreme staff shortages we may need to eliminate transportation for extracurricular activities.  We will certainly provide as much notice as possible.

Please have a Plan B in place, should shortages occur that would result in temporary changes to transportation services in TSD.  The district will continue to network with Petermann Transportation Services to have substitute drivers available, but we understand that the pandemic is putting stress on many organizations as people become ill or must quarantine.  We will continue to report on this and other TSD services as we navigate the ever changing environment associated with life in a pandemic.
