SD57 says it is unhappy with the level of service provided by contractor First Student Inc.
School District No. 57 is still facing challenges with its school bus service, and this week saw two routes to the communities of Bear Lake and Salmon Valley cancelled.
Now more than two months into the school year, students and families are still facing a number of cancelled routes. There are currently five cancelled routes listed on SD57’s website. First Student took over the school bussing contract this year from Diversified Transportation, which had been the SD57 busing contractor for the past 15 years.
“I said this a couple of times, we thought it would be resolved and it hasn't so we're in daily communication with First Students to rectify these problems because it is a faraway community by bus service.”“In the case that this happens again, we've got a backup plan, but one of the problems that we have is that it's a contracted-out service so we don't have our own buses, and we don't have our own staff,” he explained.
