Dear Parents of Sierra Vista Unified School District,
We understand that the recent transportation delays have caused concerns and frustrations for both you and your students. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and would like to provide you with some clarity on the situation.
Unfortunately, Student Transportation of America (STA), our transportation partner, faced unexpected challenges when four employees abruptly left their positions. While it was known that these employees were planning to leave at the end of the school year, the timeline shifted unexpectedly, leading to the current staffing shortage.
We want to assure you that the leadership at STA was proactive in addressing this issue. New drivers were already enrolled in the training program to cover the anticipated departures at the end of the year. Additionally, STA has arranged for new drivers to be transferred from other locations, and they will soon join the Sierra Vista team. These new drivers, along with those undergoing training, are eagerly awaiting their state certification. We expect some of the new drivers to be available to begin their routes at the beginning of February with the remainder of drivers being available through the end of March. STA will also continue to hire and train additional drivers to ensure a more robust and reliable transportation service in the future.
Both Sierra Vista Unified School District and STA are working diligently to minimize the impact of these delays on your students' transportation to and from school. We understand the importance of reliable transportation for your children's education and well-being.
We are genuinely excited for the new drivers to join our team and contribute to easing some of the delay issues. We believe that their addition will enhance the overall efficiency and reliability of our transportation services.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our transportation department. We value your understanding and patience as we work through these challenges and look forward to providing a more seamless transportation experience for your students in the near future.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Sincerely,
SVUSD Administration
