Why can all high schools, middle schools and elementary schools start at the same time for each group?
In order to maximize the use of our school bus fleet and to provide a more efficient operation with as few buses as possible, schools are put into distinctly different time schedules. That enables one bus to serve two to four different schools within 2 hours in the morning and afternoon. High schools are generally in the first or second time schedule, middle schools are on the first, second or third schedule and elementary schools can be on any of the first, second, third or fourth since there are more elementary schools than any other. It is necessary to change some schools starting and ending times each year due to program changes such as the restructured seven-period day or other changes that my prevent the use of additional school buses.
