The Jefferson County Public Schools board will not be making any changes to the district's transportation plan for now.It met Tuesday night to discuss potential steps, but tabled its vote.They said in light of the recent audit, which highlighted many issues with last year's roll out, it will be tabled until April 16. Throughout the audit, it said that JCPS didn't consider how big of a change last year's plan was, along with finding issues in the way the district didn't vet multiple vendors.In addition to that, it said that bus drivers weren't given ample time to prepare for the new changes. It also reported that some staff were ignored when they raised concerns about the changes.The audit was ordered following the disastrous first day, which resulted in four days of classes being canceled for students. AlpaRoute, who JCPS hired to implement changes to is transportation plan last year, said that the audit was lacking important details and misstated facts.AlphaRoute's statement reads:"The Prismatic Services audit of the JCPS transportation system lacks critically important details and misses or misstates many facts about AlphaRoute맥스카지노�s engagement with the school district. The majority of the issues identified in the audit related to AlphaRoute were the result of direct guidance or approvals from JCPS staff or timelines imposed on the project by JCPS staff or procedures. "AlphaRoute cooperated fully with this audit and is surprised and disappointed that we were not given an opportunity to provide context to some of the inaccurate claims contained in the report. The driver shortage that JCPS faced and is still navigating resulted in district leaders having to make difficult decisions on a short timeline. As we demonstrated in Louisville, AlphaRoute is committed to always supporting our clients, even beyond the scope of our contract when necessary."The board is now working with Prismatic, who conducted the audit, to explore options that will help them maintain current bus service, while reducing delays and lost instructional time.One of the options the board was set to consider at Tuesday night's meeting was cutting transportation for magnet and traditional school students.If that change is accepted, around 16,000 JCPS students will be without bus service starting next school year.
