Last JCPS student dropped off before 8 p.m. on Monday
While Friday was the first dip back into school after the JCPS bus fiasco, Monday was the real test.
All students went back to school Monday after several days off for officials to figure out how to fix the bus debacle.
When they first went back on Aug. 9, the last student got home just before 10 p.m. On Friday, when just elementary and middle schoolers went back, it was 7:43 p.m.
On Monday, JCPS said the last student was dropped off around the same time as Friday 맥스카지노 7:48 p.m.
"It's not perfect, it's not ideal, but it's better than before," said Kim Byron, the grandmother of a JCPS student.
With the new staggered start times this year, the last school gets out at 4:20 p.m. The district said they use 600 buses for 550 routes.
This time around, some of the drivers had shoulder buddies to help them navigate. There were also vehicles helping shuttle kids who ended up on wrong buses, among other short-term fixes.
There were a few bus crashes on the first full day back: four in the morning and one in the evening. There weren't any injuries reported in any of them.
With temperatures in the high 90's this week, JCPS is providing schools and bus depots with extra water for students.
