Dear NOLA-PS community,
I wanted to update you on the progress we have been making on school bus safety. As of today, schools have confirmed to us that 86% of the bus fleet serving NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) students have passed inspection and are now in compliance. Prior to our winter break that number was closer to 60%. This is critical progress, but we can’t be satisfied until 100% of the fleet is meeting standards. Operators have been informed they have until February 13th to have all their buses pass inspection.
As I mentioned last week, we are establishing a working group to address our transportation challenges for the long term. Our goal as a district is to ensure that our students are transported to and from our schools safely and we will continue to provide the necessary oversight to ensure that happens. We plan to have additional updates for you later this month.
Sincerely,
Dr. Henderson Lewis, Jr.
NOLA-PS Superintendent of Schools
