Pre-K vs. School Age

While Pre-K transportation does require special training and equipment, the need for a

completely separate fleet is often not necessary. ~

This session will discuss the viable options transportation administrators have to integrate the two into one, more efficient transportation

world.

Who do you transport now?

Take an assessment Will this enrollment

and population be changing?

What are the rules? Is the Pre-K Special Ed

and/or Headstart? Who decides?

Contracted and/District Decisions

Are the contract rules clear for ALL ages?

Is the equipment used for Pre-K students on buses district owned?

Training issues? Session times for dual

programs Union challenges?

Funding?

Where’s is your coming from?

Are the funds for Pre-K transport restricted?

Will combining resources help or hurt?

Data is your ally & best “weapon”
