BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The Cascade Student Transportation was approved for the 18% increase they requested. That amount equates to approximately $2.3 million for the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
This increase would go towards driver wages, transportation costs, buses, and many more improvements for the students going to and from school.
The chief operations officer, Jonathan Gillian, said their current on-time travel percentage is only at 89%.
I can speak for the district. Our continued efforts are going to be on what we can do to try and identify time and identify ways we can gain efficiencies, anything that we can do to make sure that those buses get to their schools on time and continue to increase that on our time percentage." - Chief Operations OfficerHe encouraged people to apply whether or not they have their commercial driver's licenses, and shared the benefits and bonuses the job would include.

The reason that I made this motion, the reason that I'm going to support this motion, is that it's the best thing that we can do for our kids right now." - Trustee BinettincG1vNJzZmihlJa1sLrEsKpnm5%2BifK%2Bx1qxmpaeTlrlwr8CsmpqclWLBs63NrKeoqqSWwaq7zWagrGWRpb2zu9Wem2aen6d6tbTEZmhxZZmjsLOxwKyc
