Happen because quite frankly if we were prioritizing where we were going to bus to, this would not be a top priority to provide transportation to privately run after school programs. And giving transportation to those students that would not be my top choice, when we see students from the bay view getting transportation cut to their schools or from the schools. Another question that i just have is also have we alerted muni about these proposed changes . I have heard recently many complaints about the transportation to high schools and that many students arrive late to school because they simply cannot even get on the bus. That so many schools are along certain particular lines of transportation where they are just heavily impacted and all at the same time. And therefore, many students are late for school, so they say, i am just kidding. They are late for school because they cant get on the bus and the buses actually pass them up. So you know that we have, probably the majority of our s ....
And do provide equalable access. In deeper conversations with the School Communities and working with the superintendents to think about what adjustments might be needed in the future. In terms of 1314, it would be these are the only changes that we are recommending for the 1314 school year. So, im work curious, if you can provide us not right now, but some just sort of a snapshot and data, i feel like i have lost, sort of, we had a lot of data around this when we were doing the student assignment. What schools are served by buses. You know . Just sort what that looks like now or maybe what it will look like in the 1314 school year, over all trends, how many students . Are we seeing any trends in terms of the rider ship going up, going down, different parts of the city . You know . Some of it may be just based on where we have added bus and where we have taken them away. But in general, are we see any kind of decrease or in cr ....
Efficiently use limited buses. We recognize that changing bell times is disruptive for the entire community, including families not using transportation and families using special Education Services and so we wanted to avoid any recommendation that included bell changes. We also wanted to minimize the number of schools and the number of riders that would be impacted. And we wanted to make sure that we could align our process with the enrollment cycle so that family woulds have the information well in advance and on time for that could inform their decisions with regard to applications for next year. So the changes we are recommending is to reduce the services to aptis and hove and to eliminate to lou and new traditions the students with iep that requires transportation will not be required by these recommendations. The next few slides go over the impact that the school has. And so, for aptos, last year, we added transportation ....
And we also like to avoid making any bell changes. It is very enter connected complicated developing Transportation System and obviously bell times have a huge impact on our ability to efficiently use limited buses.

To school what other alternatives do they have besides muni . Thank you very much. I think that is a really good question. Part of the in prior years, we werent able to follow up as directly with the students because we did not know who was riding the bus but this year we have that information and so we are planning to send letters and work directly with the families who will be impacted and that is one of the reasons that we want to do it before the enrollment fair so that the children will have the opportunity and the families will have the opportunity to consider information before the enrollment cycle begin and so that is part of the work that we have to do and kind of implementing these changes. Commissioner norton . The other question that i thought of was, around after school, because part of this right has been, i mean, it is trying to figure out how to build capacity at school sites for after school. Do we have any . I mean, are the sites that are still receiving busing for af ....
