IV. Discussion Items/ Presentation
A. Update from District - T. Philips gave a report from his communication with the District. He received the rider list and reported that the district had conducted an audit of the rider list on each bus route. The audit revealed that there may be open seats on various routes. Due to this, it was determined that the SRBC will contact each rider’s point of contact to verify the accuracy of information provided from the Transportation Department and ascertain if there are indeed open seats.
B. Waitlist Discussion and Way Forward
1. Discussion was held regarding the waitlist and the best way to proceed given that the previous waitlist from the former MMS Bus Committee was not, and will not in the future, be turned over to the SRBC.
2. It was determined that there is no fair way for the current committee to verify any order of the previous waitlist given that the previous committee has made it clear that they will not assist the current committee (SRBC) to do so.
a. Due to this, the SRBC will create a new waitlist for the 2017-2018 school year by opening a new registration window (31Jan-4Feb) for a lottery to be held (5 Feb 2018).
b. The lottery system process will be conducted using the process outlined in the SRBC By-Laws Addendum and the new waitlist will be used to fill any open seats determined to exist after verification of rider list accuracy by the SRBC.
(8:15p.m) the way forward, explained above, was voted and unanimously approved by the SRBC.
V. Action Items
A. Gail is going to contact MMS web manager to inquire about getting future SRBC announcements and SRBC blogspot link on the MMS webpage.
B. Todd is going to draft an e-mail to explain the waitlist situation, new registration window and lottery process to create a new waitlist for 2017-2018 school year.
C. All SRBC committee members and participants will use all available means for widest dissemination of the aforementioned letter and to create an SRBC e-mail list for future SRBC announcements.
