The district needs 60 more drivers in order to staff all routes.
. Each cohort has bus transportation for three weeks in a row, and then goes six weeks without.
The district said Anchorage residents can expect traffic delays on the east side of town as those students now go several weeks without bus service, and more families drive to school. Delays are expected near Bartlett High School, Begich Middle School, Bettye Davis East High School and Wendler Middle School.
The district’s chief operating officer, Rob Holland, said district leaders will take what they learned during cohort one and apply it to cohort two. “We’ve worked with partners at the state and the muni level, in terms of traffic engineers, to help us with some signaling concerns, and that did help a lot,” Holland said. “We’ve learned a lot about traffic flows on campuses, especially at our largest schools like our high schools.”“We’ve been really pleased with attendance,” he said. “Our average attendance continues to be over 90%.”
Bryantt said 37 new drivers are in training, and 12 others will start on Sept. 19. The district is currently interviewing 20 additional candidates.Anchorage School District buses on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
