The goal of teaching andlearning will also be enhanced for Exceptional Children by more effi cientand timely management of their transportation to school.Evidence or Reasoning for this Strategy:The current ratio of school buses to Operations Managers is 45:1.There are currently 65 buses and over 200 cars in Exceptional ChildrenTransportation. The management of 102 safety assistants will also fallunder these new positions.The creation of these positions will free the existing staff from therouting duties required of such a large fl eet. This will allow the SeniorAdministrator and her staff to handle the continuing growth in thesestudents by attending Individual Education Plans (IEPs) , validating over12 million in contract expenditures, and dealing with the daily interactionof Principals, Social Workers, and parents of over 3,000 students.Legal Implications (if any):None254
