Director of Operations Board Report

December 3, 2025

Good Evening,

Facilities:

Budget Season is here, and it is time to start compiling our numbers for larger scale projects to occur in our facilities. As I did last year, I reached out to building administrators to see what it is that they would like to see in their buildings for capital improvements or projects to either help improve educational experiences or improve upon our current facilities and structures. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will not have any large capital projects that would affect our current budgeting. Much of the focus will be on revitalizing the appearance and fixing some of the other smaller issues due to aging facilities and equipment.

Transportation:

This past week we had bus drivers in to review basic first aid procedures with the school nurse and the Director of Operations for AMS Ambulance Services. The training was well received and was very informative for our drivers. This type of information is helpful to drivers should a medical incident occur while on one of our buses.

The transportation team has fielded many questions on Standard Operating Procedures for drivers and what is expected here at RSU #74. The team has taken some time to craft these S.O.P.’s and will create a binder for all drivers to keep on their buses. These procedures are drafted from national recommendations and standards. This will also streamline the process when onboarding a new driver, giving them a hands on reference to review of what is expected from our drivers.

We will be submitting bus bids for (2) new buses, pending approval from the state and the budget process. Paperwork has been submitted to the state for the first round of approvals.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Christopher Roux

Director of Operations
