Clinton Schools Assistant Superintendent Discusses Bussing Plans

Getting kids to and from school this year is going to be a challenge but Clinton Schools Assistant Superintendent Drew Goebel believes they are up to the task.

 

Keeping kids six feet apart and having less than 50 kids on a bus at a time are among some the protocols that will be taking place but Goebel believes they will be able to pull it off by having some drivers make two stops on their routes. 

 

 

According to Goebel, before students get on the bus, they will have their temperatures taken. He explains students will have to be masked when getting on the bus and they are going to keep kids six-feet apart as often as possible.

 

 

If students are discovered to have a temperature, Goebel indicates the first protocol will be to contact the parents of the child. If the parents cannot be reached, the child will get on the bus and be secluded from the rest of the students and taken to the school.

 

 

The school will be made aware of the situation with the student and once the student gets to the building, they will be taken to a designated area where students who may fall ill during the day are taken. He says these situations will cause the busses to be late. 

 

 

As the school year goes along, Goebel anticipates there being aspects of it that need adjusting. He indicates some changes they made to bussing before COVID have paid off in their preparation for bussing this year. We'll have more on that over the weekend on Regional Radio News.
