School buses picking up children in District 6 will continue to get all students who live more than 1.6 kilometres from the school. The earlier announced budget cuts stated the rule would be changed so that only students living 2.4 kilometres from a school could use bus services. Superintendent Zoe Watson tells CHSJ News, a new computerized transportation software has solved their problems.
Watson says even though the district has one less bus than last year, this software has found a way to provide the same level of service. She says there will be fewer stops and buses will be picking up more students, which is where the budget realizes savings.
