I saw today where CATS said students can ride for free. I mentioned before they can easily suspend a few routes twice a day to help out. This is really the only logical solution I can think of except the school board magically finding money for immediate raises.

im telling you right now, if they do this, I’m taking my kids out of there and we’ll figure something else out.
The School Board basically shoved this idea up Narcisse's arse tonight. So no worries for now.

All my kids started school at 7:15. Never an issue.

They just gave cafeteria workers a 3K stipend at tonight’s meeting 8/24.

This board meeting is actually kind of entertaining and oddly orderly and civilized for how heated it was. Makes me legit feel bad for them.

I bring my 5th grader to St Aloysius. No way im waking her up an hour earlier to do this. I think if your kid goes to a parochial school and rides the bus, you can pony up a little extra for private bus drivers

Because they are needed. When you pretend to pay them, they will pretend to work.

While I do think that there’s something to this, the Diocese currently pays for the bus service, and that comes from the schools collecting tuition. So even though you are driving your kid to SAS, and mine rides the bus to SAS, we pay the same tuition cost.
Now, if the Diocese wanted to break free from this and have their own transportation system I’m sure they could…but not overnight.
Either way, I’d rather drive my kid to/from school at normal times than adhere to other times just to use the bus.
What I also couldn’t figure out is how the EBRPSS was going to dictate to the hundreds of Catholic school teachers, staff, and administrators, all of whom work for an entirely different entity, that they were going to have to work on completely different schedules starting in 2 weeks.

I agree. I’m sure there is a contract in place between the diocese and EBR Transportation and only a fool would have allowed EBR the power to arbitrarily change times/routes in that contract.
If the diocese was smart, they’d run their own buses like Episcopal does. Because, as the diocese is finding out, when you outsource something, you are giving up control of it to a third party.

Have you priced cocaine lately? This is an idiotic statement.

Don’t know much about this, but maybe some of these bureaucrats should strep up and drive.

Actually, last I knew, you had to pay extra for bus service there.

Because right now, they hold the cards.
If they could find 500 new drivers this would not be an issue. They can’t.
