01:16Yes.

01:17>> Miss Oliver?

01:17>> Yes.

01:18>> Mr. Gomes?

01:20>> Yes.

01:21>> Mr. Sullivan?

01:23>> Yes.

01:23>> And I myself is a yes so we do have um

01:27that will be put on the agenda for the

01:297:00 School Committee meeting.

01:32I would like to next item is item number

01:34four, transportation updates. I'd like

01:36to invite Super Oh, I want to

01:38acknowledge our Superintendent Dr.

01:40Tehaliani is here. And I'd like to

01:44invite

01:46Mr. Peterson, Kamal Peterson to the

01:48podium to start his presentation.

01:51>> Good evening. How's everyone doing?

01:53>> Good evening.

01:54>> My name is Kamal Peterson and I'm the

01:55Director of transportation.

01:57>> Andre Gallant, assistant director of

01:59transportation.

02:00>> Welcome, gentlemen.

02:01>> Thank you.

02:03Um

02:05Just want to give you guys an update on

02:06what's going on and what's been

02:07happening. So, just to start from the

02:10top, uh we transport about around uh

02:147,600 students.

02:16Um now, you have to remember, it's not

02:17just uh BPS, it's also we have Cardinal

02:20Spellman, we have New Heights, we have

02:22Trinity upper and lower campuses, North

02:24Aggie, etc. So, that also adds to that.

02:27Um

02:29Out of the special education, we're

02:31looking about around 1,700. Now, again,

02:34like I said, that encompasses other

02:36schools as well, not just BPS.

02:38Um we're looking for October 26th to put

02:42out an

02:43IFB um regarding our private

02:45transportation.

02:47Uh we also have some

02:49uh some necessary things on this list,

02:52including uh GPS trackers, interior and

02:55exterior cameras, two-way radios,

02:58uh so that we can always have access to

03:00the private vendors. On top of that, we

03:02have to make sure we put some on-time

03:04performances. There's zero tolerance for

03:06misroutes. Um they have to alert parents

03:09if they're going to be tardy of 5

03:10minutes. Um all of these things are

03:12going to be a part of this. So, if they

03:14do want the contract, they're going to

03:16have to abide by these rules. And then,

03:18we also have identifications like

03:19they'll have to provide their own vests

03:21to say that we're from BPS, so they know

03:23that they're affiliated with us.

03:25So, we have

03:29Yes, yes. Um so, we have that going on.

03:31Now, the 77 private routes consist of

03:34Baker, Angelo, and Raymond. So, they'll

03:37always be to those schools, so there

03:40will be no confusion of, "Oh, um is this

03:42a private? Is this a BPS van?" They'll

03:44know that these are the schools that the

03:46privates are targeting or that they're

03:48going to go to.

03:49>> Who um so, Baker, Angelo, and what was

03:51the third school?

03:52>> Raymond.

03:52>> Raymond.

03:54So those are going to be designated um

03:56>> for private Yes.

03:57>> Okay. And they'll be easily identifiable

03:59like you said with vests and everything.

04:00>> Correct.

04:01>> Okay.

04:02Any of the members have any questions?

04:05No. Uh Mr. Gomes, Mr. Sullivan, any

04:07questions so far?

04:10>> Not at the moment.

04:12>> Oh, Ms. Oliver.

04:13>> Again.

04:13>> Are you Are you done with your

04:14presentation or you still going?

04:15>> No, I mean

04:16you can interrupt [laughter] me if you

04:17like.

04:19>> I'm good.

04:20>> So we're talking about this one uh for

04:21the 26th of October. So um you've seen

04:24this you've seen this as far as

04:27how this has worked so far as far as the

04:29um real-time tracking, notifying the

04:32parents, things like that. Um

04:34>> Well, the the the the vendor has to bid

04:36on it and if they bid on it then we vet

04:38it. We get to see what they actually

04:40have because for them to win

04:41[clears throat] the award, the bid I

04:42should say, they have to have these

04:44qualifications.

04:45>> Okay. So we um

04:47the way I'm thinking is see it in action

04:49first to see

04:52how good of a program that they have.

04:54Is there a way you can see it as part of

04:56the bid?

04:57>> Um

04:58>> No. Okay.

04:58>> I would have to get back to you on that.

04:59I'm not 100%

05:01>> Do you know how many um vendors we're

05:03looking for for Yeah, for each school?

05:05>> So if the vendor says they can take 10,

05:07that's one vendor. If the vendor says

05:09they can take all 77, that's one vendor.

05:11So it's it's dictated based on what

05:13these vendors are bidding on and what

05:15they can take on. So I couldn't tell you

05:16>> How many buses that we need? Like how

05:18many um routes that we be trying to fill

05:20up?

05:21>> How many buses do we need?

05:22>> Yeah, for each school. Like how many

05:24routes and stuff?

05:25>> So there's 77 altogether.

05:27We separate them in groups of five.

05:29>> Okay.

05:30We transportation was a little bit

05:33difficult from September to now. So I'm

05:36happy to hear that

05:38um this is the expectation that you guys

05:41are setting moving forward.

05:43>> Right.

05:43>> Um cuz I'm sure some of these issues

05:46that you guys are now putting to be a

05:49requirement must have came from the

05:51issues that you guys

05:53been observing from September to now.

05:56I'm sure it's a prior to that. So,

05:58um

05:59this is we're we're heading in the right

06:01direction.

06:02>> Um so, we're working on acquiring three

06:04to four uh big buses. Uh right now, we

06:07have 58 big buses. We have uh 58 uh

06:11short vans, and then we have six

06:13wheelchair vans and six 70s. 70s are

06:16like the mini vans, the best way to

06:18describe it, eight passengers.

06:20Um we actually acquired uh three 70s,

06:23and they should be up and running by the

06:25end of October, and we have two more

06:27coming in that should be ready to go by

06:29the end of November.

06:31With that being said, we're expecting

06:33these 70s to bring in some of the

06:35privates and uh reduce cost. So, we're

06:38looking at um at least around 1750

06:42minimum a day that we'll be saving

06:44because that's the cost it is just for

06:46like tier three of having five private

06:49vendors do that daily.

06:52So, I want to update you guys on the

06:53fueling. Now, just to let you know, the

06:56prices clearly are different than they

06:58were in 2025.

07:00Uh back then, it was up between like 280

07:02to 320.

07:04Right now, we're sitting at $4. That's

07:07like the lowest we have right now, and

07:09that's what we're paying. So, um

07:11what we're looking at is we're looking

07:13at less staff that are required to fill

07:16up the vehicles, so we're saving on that

07:18piece, as well as we're uh fueling on

07:21more vehicles in less time.

07:24So, it's been more efficient for us, and

07:26it's been closer than where we were

07:27going previous years.

07:29So, that's the positive part, but I

07:30mean, prices, I can't dictate those,

07:33unfortunately. Um we're also in the

07:35process of update updating our drivers'

07:37manual, as well as our operation

07:39procedure, so that we know, and everyone

07:42also knows that we can be held

07:43accountable to a standard as well as

07:45people can see and identify, "Okay, so

07:47these are the rules. These are the This

07:49is how they move forward in

07:51transportation. I understand now. I know

07:53who to contact." All of that. And to

07:56speak about where's the bus. So we did

07:59the pilot. The pilot is working, but it

08:03also allowed us to identify underlining

08:05issues such as there's a communication

08:07error between Infinite Campus and

08:09Versatran.

08:10Now that's going to take some time to uh

08:12handle, but uh there is some progress in

08:16that as well as the information of

08:19Infinite Infinite Campus going to

08:21Versatran being automated versus

08:23manually being input. So that would also

08:26save us a lot of time as well and it'll

08:27be uh beneficial for everyone. So we're

08:30still in the works of it, but as long as

08:32we start moving into this right uh

08:34process, I think we'll be good and we'll

08:35be able to start having people scan onto

08:37the vehicles versus what we're doing at

08:40the moment in time.

08:41>> I have a few questions. For the fueling,

08:43do you know like the average how much

08:44we're spending per week? Like per bus

08:47like uh fueling it up.

08:48>> Um I would have to get back to you on

08:50that. I don't want to give you a

08:51arbitrary number.

08:52>> If we can get a number just to see like

08:54exactly like what is

08:57going on with the fuel increases like

08:59how we did last year to now and so we

09:01know like we have to ask for more money

09:04if we have to because it's not even our

09:05fault the fueling prices going up, but I

09:07just want to have a range of like how

09:09much are we spending weekly on all the

09:11buses or even one bus every week to like

09:13the fuel it up.

09:15>> Understood.

09:16>> Um second, where is the bus? Another

09:18question, the one the door-to-door vans,

09:21those are not part of the weather buses,

09:22right?

09:23>> At the moment, no.

09:25>> Okay.

09:25>> Because we want to make sure that the

09:26communication between the two companies

09:28are working, Infinite Campus and uh

09:30Versatran. Because what we don't want is

09:33obviously door-to-door to to fail

09:35instantly and then people are like,

09:36"Hey, this isn't working. You said my

09:37child be picked up around this time, and

09:39that's not the time that we're getting

09:41there."

09:41>> Do you have plans to eventually add them

09:43to the program?

09:43>> Correct. Once we iron out a few issues,

09:46I believe we can do that, yes.

09:47>> Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to make

09:48sure because I know I was trying to

09:50sign up and look for, you know, for my

09:53son. I was like, "Yeah, it's not on

09:54here." But then I found out that

09:55door-to-door is not part of the way the

09:57bus is, but

09:58>> Right, currently it is not.

10:00>> do um so far your presentation, I think

10:02just a lot of like um implementation to

10:05make sure we're correcting what's been

10:07going on, like Ms. Centeo said, since

10:09the beginning of the year. I'm not going

10:11to lie. I know we had a lot of parents

10:12that was frustrated. We got a lot of

10:14calls. But being here today is just

10:17basically assuring them that we have

10:19collected all the data of what's been

10:22happening. So, and we also had a brand

10:23new team, right?

10:24>> Right.

10:25>> And we're implementing all the different

10:28data, the different devices, and system.

10:31And it, you know, we have to work on it.

10:33And new um new people in leadership. So,

10:35it's working as a team and figuring out

10:37what happened and moving it forward to

10:39make sure next year we're better um

10:42prepared, and we don't have so much

10:44hiccups that we had this year.

10:46>> Correct, which is why the operation

10:47manual was updated as well, so we can

10:50have this ready, and everyone's on the

10:51same uh idea, same page, I should say.

10:54So, moving forward, we move as one unit,

10:56you know what I mean?

10:57>> Thank you. I appreciate it.

10:58>> Yep.

10:59>> Mr. Tay, any questions? Okay. Um I

11:01couple of things. So, finally, where's

11:03the bus?

11:05Finally, um

11:07So,

11:08I know we we discussed the the iPads um

11:11couple of meetings ago. How we doing

11:12with the iPads? Cuz

11:14I really think it's important that we

11:16know

11:17have have a way that we have a system

11:19that the students can scan when they get

11:20on the bus. So, one, we know who's on

11:22the bus.

11:23>> Mhm.

11:23>> Um

11:24you know, God forbid there's an

11:26emergency or something, we know who

11:27scanned and who's actually on that bus.

11:29And we actually know who's taking a bus

11:30that they're supposed to be taking. Um

11:33so I would definitely like to see if we

11:34can work on that. Um get an update at

11:37some point. We always have hiccups the

11:40first few weeks of school. It's normal.

11:42It's been happening for years. So

11:44great progress. Um you know, a lot of

11:47families getting used to the bus routes,

11:48students taking the bus, things like

11:50that. So I I do like how there's some

11:53some positive updates that you've given

11:55us tonight.

11:56Um One question, not to put you on the

11:58spot.

12:00So you gave us a total of the the buses.

12:02So I get it. Accidents happen, things

12:05like that. So

12:07how many buses are we down, you know,

12:09for

12:11>> That was uh the second part of the

12:13>> I want to see that and then are we Are

12:16they still under warranty? Like I mean,

12:18how are we getting repairs, things like

12:20that?

12:20>> They aren't under warranty anymore.

12:22>> They're not under war- Yeah, so we're

12:23beyond the warranty stage. Okay.

12:25>> Correct.

12:25>> So I want to check and see where we are

12:27with the warranty. So we No more

12:28warranty for the buses. And then um

12:31So as far as the cost, I know they're

12:33gas, not the not the diesel.

12:36>> It's It's a blessing that the gas is

12:37doing that to you. Um if it was fuel,

12:39the price is definitely different.

12:41>> That's I remember them doing that. And

12:43then um if you can just give us an idea

12:46as to how many buses are we down. And

12:48And then the other thing is is do we

12:50provide um I know there's training for

12:52our drivers, but those that if we, you

12:54know, have a couple little issues here

12:56and there, do we give them extra

12:57training? Like bring them

12:59um on site, give them some kind of

13:01training you know, repeat

13:04>> Yes, we do. We do whether it's safety,

13:07whether it's understanding a system. We

13:09do come We do ask them to come in and we

13:11do more training as well. What we want

13:13to make sure is that they're equipped

13:14for any situation. And if they weren't

13:16equipped, we have to make sure they are

13:18for the next time it happens.

13:20>> Definitely. Definitely. Um I I get it.

13:22Things happen, accidents happen, but I

13:24just want to make make that we're

13:25monitoring if there's any

13:27you know, repeat that we either provide

13:30them training or we address it. But,

13:33thank you.

13:34>> Yes, uh after accident, we we train the

13:37drivers automatically. We do a training

13:39then we have to do kind of monthly

13:41safety meeting. That's part of

13:44them to renew their school bus

13:45certificate. So, monthly meeting plus if

13:48they have any accident, we will train

13:50the we train them automatically.

13:52>> Perfect. And do we I know October is

13:53usually Is it October that we have

13:55school bus safety?

13:56>> We just started

13:59>> So, I I remember years ago they they

14:01would invite me to attend when they do

14:03the school bus safety just teaching the

14:05students in case of an emergency how to

14:07how to exit the bus or how to you know,

14:10leave the bus safely. So, that just

14:12started

14:13>> Yes, we have to do that two times a

14:15year. So, October and then usually

14:17sometime between March or April we do

14:20the next one.

14:21>> Great, thank you.

14:22Um

14:23my last question before I ask the other

14:25members is how are we with the radios? I

14:28I do hear like some of the radios don't

14:30work and I I don't mean to put you guys

14:31on the spot, but we can't help you if we

14:33don't know

14:35that you're going to need help with

14:36stuff. So, some of the radios

14:38um don't work and and they have to use

14:41their cell phones, things like that. Is

14:43it because they're outdated or

14:46Sorry to put you on the spot, but this

14:48is this is why we're here.

14:50>> So,

14:51Sorry, so we have someone working on the

14:53radios right now. The issue is so the

14:55radios work, there's just what they call

14:58dead spots.

14:59>> Yeah.

14:59>> Unfortunately, we can't identify all the

15:01dead spots. We only identify them when

15:03it occurs. So, if they go through a dead

15:05spot and they didn't say anything, we

15:06may not know, but if someone's sitting

15:08and they're calling, "Hey, can you call

15:10this parent?" and we'd never heard them,

15:13>> Okay.

15:13>> that's when we can identify cuz they

15:14said, "Hey, I've been radioing in, but

15:16no one's been responding." I'm sorry, we

15:18didn't hear you.

15:19>> Okay.

15:19>> that's how we can identify it, then from

15:21there we say, "Okay, what can we do with

15:23these radios that they make sure that

15:25they're everywhere." Not just You know

15:27what I mean? Not just certain areas of

15:29Brockton.

15:29>> Okay.

15:30>> We need to be accessible at all times.

15:32>> Definitely. If there's something that we

15:33can get that will give it a boost, um

15:36you know, like cell phones, you do have

15:37some dead spots. Things won't work, but

15:39um okay.

15:40>> And we have someone work with them

15:42literally today and yesterday, so they

15:44are working on it. They're making

15:45progress.

15:46>> No, definitely. I just want to ask cuz I

15:47know that was brought to my attention.

15:49>> Right.

15:49>> Um and it's always good to just Again,

15:51if it's something that you and and Andre

15:53need from us, then we can try to try to

15:56assess if it's something that we need to

15:59address or bring forward before us.

16:02Um if there's a program or something

16:03that that can be done for the radios or

16:06upgrade the radios at some point. Um but

16:09okay. Mr. Gomes, do you have any

16:11questions? Or Mr. Sullivan, do you have

16:13any questions?

16:14>> No questions.

16:15>> Okay, Mr. Gomes, do you have any

16:16questions?

16:19>> None at this moment.

16:20>> Okay. Ms. Centeo?

16:21>> Uh my question is with the private

16:23vendors cuz I did receive um few phone

16:27few complaints about about them. Mainly

16:29about like safety. Like I know with our

16:32buses, you guys are

16:34there, can monitor it, will know which

16:37bus is safe to be on the road and which

16:38ones are not. Like what what steps do we

16:41have in place to make sure on a daily

16:43basis when it comes to the private

16:45vendors that they're checking to make

16:47sure that the van is safe to be on the

16:49road. Meaning like

16:51we want to make sure that the inspection

16:53stickers is up to date.

16:55Um you know, like things like that. How

16:57is that being monitored?

16:59>> It's Well, school just started. We kind

17:01of very busy right now. Um there's two

17:04of them school reported to us.

17:06Uh one with a cracked windshield and the

17:08other one with expired stickers. We

17:10automatically just remove those vendors

17:12uh from doing business for us.

17:15Um so, I'm planning to do um monthly

17:18inspections

17:20at school site.

17:22So, probably next month we're going to

17:24start doing spot inspection.

17:27Um, also we'll invite private vendors

17:30from time to time randomly just call

17:32them. They need to come to our

17:34transportation office then we'll just do

17:36the check. So, either come to us or just

17:39don't let them know just show up at any

17:41school. Just let the school know we're

17:42going to show up. We just do inspection.

17:45Um, but anything unsafe sometime the

17:47monitor will report it to the principal

17:49and the principal let us know, "Hey,

17:51this is what the monitor has reported.

17:53There's a cracked windshield and there's

17:55an expired inspection sticker."

17:57Automatically we'll we'll shout out to

17:59the vendors and we just remove them from

18:01service. But, that's part of the 7D um,

18:05kind of rules they need to follow. They

18:07have to do proper pre-trip inspection.

18:09So, anything unsafe that vehicle should

18:11be off the road.

18:14But, we don't have like a team like

18:16daily to do this kind of inspection. So,

18:18randomly we just do it.

18:22Um, I know earlier you asked Kamala

18:25about out of service vehicles. So, what

18:27right now at this time we have about

18:29seven vehicles out of service.

18:32So, there's one big bus at Bluebird

18:34right now with engine issues.

18:36We have two on our side with issues. The

18:39tech

18:40checking them right now.

18:43We also have about three vans, small

18:45yellow vans, that currently have

18:47transmission issues. Um, so we

18:50I think Ken sent this out a bit. Um, so

18:53we're waiting for a vendor sometime next

18:55week um

18:56to look at them because we cannot fix

18:58them on site.

19:00>> So, they have transmission issues, but

19:02they're fairly new vans, correct?

19:04>> Yes, but they out of

19:06warranty.

19:09>> Five I mean, so it's a five-year

19:11warranty. Do we have the option to

19:13extend warranties? We don't?

19:15>> No.

19:17>> Okay.

19:17>> Yeah, only at the time of purchase. We

19:19we don't now.

19:20>> Okay, cuz I mean, that's pretty

19:22expensive. Um

19:25Speaking from somebody that's had to tr-

19:27>> Roughly, we got it for

19:29from two different vendors, roughly

19:31about 6,667 hundred dollars.

19:35>> And how And these vans are over five

19:37years old?

19:39>> Yes.

19:39>> Okay.

19:40>> So, they're over five years old, but we

19:42also have to remember that

19:44they're doing transportation daily with

19:46several children on them. So, it's it's

19:49not like someone's car just going to,

19:51you know, work and then coming back.

19:53This is they're doing different stops,

19:55they're doing trips, they're going

19:57everywhere. So, the transmission does

19:59take some

20:01poundings, as one would say.

20:04But, outside of that, I mean, they have

20:06been working fairly well. If we just

20:08have about a few of them that have some

20:09transmission and engine issues. That's

20:11not too bad based on the fleet that we

20:13have as a totality.

20:16>> Would it Mr. Peterson, would it be the

20:18make and model of these vehicles? Would

20:21we would we be better off getting a

20:23different make and model? Is it like a

20:25known issue?

20:25>> If the percentage was higher, so if we

20:27have seven out and let's say three of

20:30them are two transmissions and one's an

20:32engine, and we have 128 vehicles, then

20:36that's not bad out of 128. Now, if we

20:38had 20 of them out of the 128, that's a

20:41concern.

20:42>> Okay.

20:42>> So, what they call,

20:45you know, there's a there's always a 1%

20:47risk. We'd be in that kind of 1% risk of

20:50purchasing

20:52all the same vehicles. You know what I

20:53mean? That's not something

20:55we could plan for, but we can account

20:58for it. If you

21:00It's it's just easy to do it that way.

21:02>> I [snorts] I just remember years ago

21:04when I got on the committee, um

21:06we we had older vehicles that we would

21:09constantly service and sometimes it was

21:11just more

21:13um cost-effective to just buy newer,

21:15more um efficient given the amount of

21:18mileage that's on the the vans. I'd like

21:20to see like the amount of mileage that

21:21they have.

21:22>> Mhm.

21:23>> Because once the transmission goes, then

21:25other things start to go depending on

21:27mileage. You know, if they're over the

21:28100K miles, um

21:31it might not be a bad idea to see what

21:32other options we might have.

21:34>> Yeah, that's not a bad idea at all. Um

21:36and also we we'd like to remember that

21:38uh when any vehicle or bus is produced

21:41and it's brand new, no one knows what

21:42the issues are until it goes through

21:44that time. So, if we bought all new

21:47vehicles and they all have the same

21:48issue,

21:49we have warranty, but we're also out of

21:51vehicles. So, we always want to make

21:53sure that it's not brand spanking new

21:55cuz if you get the newest one, you don't

21:57know the issues that come with it.

21:59>> Definitely. I wouldn't mind, I'm not

22:00sure if the committee, but I wouldn't

22:02mind um

22:03seeing what we have for my mileage on

22:06some of these vehicles to see if it is

22:07cost-effective for for us to keep

22:10repairing them or cuz I mean, once you

22:12do the transmission, then you're going

22:13to get the timing belt, you're going to

22:14get other issues and

22:16um down the road. So,

22:17you just don't want to

22:19keep spending money to fix an older

22:21vehicle when it might just be more um

22:25a better decision to get a newer

22:26vehicle.

22:27>> Yeah, correct.

22:28>> Definitely. I wouldn't mind. Um

22:31So,

22:32members present, any further questions?

22:34Okay. Mr. Gomes, Mr. Sullivan, any

22:37questions?

22:38>> Sullivan, no questions.

22:39>> Thank you.

22:40>> Alister Joyce, thank you.

22:41>> And then we just uh

22:43uh uh go back to a a question. We also

22:45have our our safety specialist. Uh what

22:48she's going to do is she's going to do

22:49spot checks with the privates as well.

22:51And then we're also going to call them

22:52in randomly. So, if they have tier

22:55threes, which the majority of them have

22:56tier threes, like 95% of them, we're

22:59going to call them during the tier two

23:00time because they don't have they don't

23:02have to pick up the student yet. So, we

23:04want to see what the vehicle is, what it

23:05looks like, if there uh if there's any

23:07issues, any cracked windshield, so we

23:09can see it prior before they actually

23:11pick up the student.

23:13>> Yeah, that's that's definitely a good

23:14idea.

23:15Um random random checks is is the way to

23:18go.

23:18>> Correct.

23:19>> Um thank you so much, gentlemen.

23:22Thank you. That that completes their

23:24presentation.

23:25Um next item would be other business. Do

23:28we have any other business?

23:32>> No other business.

23:34>> Okay. Um can I get a motion to adjourn?

23:37>> Motion to adjourn.

23:39>> Can I get a second?

23:40>> Second.

23:41>> So, motion's been made by Ms. Oliver,

23:43properly seconded by Ms. Senteio. I need

23:46to do a roll call. Ms. Senteio?

23:48>> Yes.

23:49>> Ms. Oliver?

23:49>> Yes.

23:50>> Mr. Gomes?

23:52>> Yes.

23:53>> Mr. Sullivan?

23:56Okay. Um meeting adjourned. Good

23:58evening.

24:04>> [music]
