SCENARIO 1 PROS AND CONS Minimally affects Elementary School times, Middle School students affected bya 40 minute move and High School students affected with the 60 minute move By changing the current route structure (drop off times), there is now a 50minute work time between the elementary and high school tiers in the morningproviding ample time for the system wide average run time of 24 minutes. This scenario adds approximately 4 buses to the morning demand from thetotal active route buses equating to a potential 350,908 cost increase ( 87,727per bus)SCHOOL BUS CONSULTANTS // 13

SCENARIO 4 PROS AND CONS Flips High School and Elementary Times Minimally affects Elementary Middle School times, High School studentsaffected with the 30 minute move Even though the current route structure was changed there is still a potential forlate buses in the event of traffic since there are 30 minutes between the drop offtimes for Elementary and High Schools with a 24 minute systemwide averagerun length This scenario adds approximately 12 buses to the morning demand from thetotal active route buses equating to a potential 1,052,724 cost increase( 87,727 per bus)SCHOOL BUS CONSULTANTS // 28

Scenario 2: sets High School Bell times to the start time of 8:15 am Elementary students will not arrive before 7:30 am MS students do not start until 9:00 AM Potential addition of 4 buses ( 458,576) Scenario 3: sets High School bell times to start time of 8:00 am Keeps the tier order of High, Elementary, and Middle School in AM andElementary, High, and Middle School in PM the same Middle school students do not start until 9:00 am Potentially will require no new additional buses Scenario 5: sets High School bell times to start at 9:00 am Minimally affects Elementary and Middle School students Elementary students will not arrive before 7:30 am Potential addition of 4 buses ( 458,576)SCHOOL BUS CONSULTANTS // 35
