That's 14,000 miles each week, 61,000 miles in a month and a whopping 620,000 miles annually. Besides reviewing mileage reports, re-ports, district transportation supervisor super-visor Floyd Collett told School Board members last week that of the 39 drivers assigned to the buses, bus-es, only 10 hold full-time contracts, all others are employed part-time. Combined, they cover 178 routes and transport nearly 6,000 children every day. Collett said the biggest complaint his department has received this year concerns the amount of time students spend on the buses. "The shortest route is 10 to 15 minutes long," Collett said. "But some of the Jensen kids are on the bus an hour and 58 minutes, counting loading time." Collett admitted the elementary reconfiguration has created longer bus rides for some children, but said the Jensen and Dry Fork students stu-dents have always had to endure lengthy rides. "We have tried to be as efficient as possible," said Collett. "Drivers are trying to shorten the routes wherever they can, and really there are as many routes that have been shortened this year as have been elongated. The students don't complain, com-plain, but the parents do." Responding to an inquiry from board member Brian Spendlove, Collett estimated that to significantly significant-ly decrease time children spend on buses, 10 or more additional buses would be required. However, while reserve buses are available, the district budget would be pinched to provide salaries and benefits for more drivers - and for the relatively low $7.20 starting hourly salary and the odd hours, dHVC UP TO ON THE DOLLAR ON tOKt ITEMS USe OUR 4 AS 10W AS Orawir $ 49 wnist Soft, lovimt l VJ H i n mm in i 1 1 w i j-m-r rr- n-i k mm m4 itM n M Mtt fjMa D..L.. llirtltlll lW ViWanaiitNlMMiMiM 1 Twin csa Ml few people are beating down doors looking for the jobs. Attracting drivers is, in fact, a major problem for the transportation department. Collett also said that installing video cameras in buses this year has caused a tremendous decrease in vandalism. He estimates that incidents in-cidents have dropped 70 to 80 percent per-cent Board members agreed to surplus and sell 11 older buses, model years 1981 to 1983, during their meeting. The buses are destined for communities commu-nities in South America. $8 () high r) Jffl NURSERY WHERE GOOD 2Q5 North Rut Wilt EARLY SEASON HOURS WEEKDAYS 10 to 4 SATURDAYS 9 to 6 PLANT PEAS NOW They will sprout and grow hi cold ground and give you some good eating In late spring.
