School Board delays vote on transportation changes to February 5th

Just announced on Twitter – the vote on Seattle Public Schools transportation changes has been pushed back two weeks:

The Seattle School Board will NOT vote tonight on transportation service standards. The vote has been postponed until Feb. 5.

We reported on the proposed changes back on Monday; among other components of the proposal, bus arrival/departure schedules would change at some schools, with major changes at some local schools – Pathfinder K-8 would start almost half an hour earlier; Sanislo, already with a late start time, would see its opening bell close to 10 am. As pointed out by a commenter on our Monday story, the district has a mailbox specifically for comments on the proposed schedule changes: arrivaltimes@seattleschools.org – and now it looks like you have more time to share your thoughts.

what time was Sanislo’s opening bell going to be? close to 2? how does that work- do they have childcare on site? how would parents get to work on time? just go to work at 10:30? criminy!
