District news
Bus service problems continue in year two with Durham; transport budget up 13.6%
What happened
The superintendent called transportation a challenge on September 14, 2026, the second year with Durham. A parent asked the board to review the training of bus staff on special education buses. The 2026-27 transportation budget is $16.2 million, up from $14.3 million.
Why it matters to families
Late or unsafe buses affect families every day. The district meets with Durham monthly to fix problems.
The evidence
The September 14 recording has the superintendent's comments and a parent's public comment. The 2026-27 budget newsletter lists pupil transportation at $16,234,831 versus $14,286,603. The October 6, 2025 Board report says Durham executives described service improvements.
