Students in Louisville’s public school district will return to class starting Friday as part of a staggered reopening that stretches into next week, as administrators reboot a new bus schedule after the system melted down on the first day of school.
“This was not anticipated, and that’s a mistake on me and on us,” he added while acknowleding that “our technology in transportation was extremely antiquated.”
He laid out a series of short- and long-term fixes to the bus system in the sprawling urban district, which has 400 fewer routes than it had 10 years ago, when it had about 950. He said parents did not have a way to know where their child’s bus was located. “That is unfair to the parents of this community,” he said, and that issue is being corrected “immediately.”
Longer term, some routes need to be revamped but it will take time to redraw them, with a goal of making adjustments at the fall break, he said. When additional stops were added to routes, “we did not properly add the time that was needed for a bus driver to complete that,” he said. “If it took an extra 10 minutes, that may not have been added to the time of the route.”
