HQCM can be a strong lever for district and school improvement
What people are sayingW & W has a clear lesson structure. The timeline is outlined for daily lessons at the front of lesson plan. There is incorporated art, videos, etc. making lessons more approachable to a wider variety of learning styles.
I think that W & W fits with the priorities set forth by the team. The fact that Fundations is a piece of this program will be beneficial since we are familiar with it and have seen successes.
This program is developmentally appropriate and presents content through engaging essential questions that students can easily relate to.

AGENDA REPORTING FORM
TOPIC: SC Approval of Bus repair 4.13.21
BACKGROUND:
The District has a 9 year old International CE Series Bus that needs $25K worth of work to
replace the engine (see attached quote from Sampson's Automotive where the bus is currently
housed). At the 2/16/21 SC meeting, there was a discussion regarding what would be the best
option - fix this 9 year old bus or purchase a new bus.
Unfortunately, during the time we have been seeking an RFP for a new bus and gathering further
data, an 11 year old bus has broken down, needing extensive engine repair work. The total for
the work needed on this 11 year old bus is yet unknown. However, the District must repair one
or both of these buses and must seek approval at this time for repair.
Because this 9 year old bus has less miles and is 2 years newer, it is recommended that for the
now we move forward with repairs to this bus and investigate option for the 11 year old bus,
repair and/or replacement.
Recommend approval.

e. At any time the North Kingstown School Committee can remove a bus driver from driving a bus.
f. The members of the Association are required to follow all policies and regulations adopted by the North Kingstown School Committee.
g. The incident of a breakdown of a school bus or the failure of a Driver/Contractor to complete his/her scheduled run shall not increase the cost to the North Kingstown School Department. If another bus assists, that additional mileage shall not be charged to the School Department nor shall the School Department pay more than the average daily mileage of the bus involved.
h. The Driver and/or Contractor of a Bus that breaks down or fails to complete their assigned run or trip and does not notify the Transportation Office may be assessed a charge not to exceed an amount equal to the payment for a Category I trip as identified in Addendum B hereto.
i. Contractors shall strictly comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local rules and regulations, as well as the Transportation Policy of the School Committee, at all times while providing service under the terms of this agreement.
j. Contractors shall maintain a written record for all repairs and maintenance conducted on each bus and shall retain this record until such time as the vehicle is taken out of service. These records shall be made available to the School Department upon request. All maintenance and repairs shall be listed on a form provided by the Transportation Office. This form shall be submitted to the Transportation Office at least once a month and retained for the service life of the bus in compliance with R. I. General Law 31-22-11.2.

m.n. Reimbursement for damage to a contracted vehicle caused by passenger vandalism will be limited to a maximum of two hundred dollars ($200.00) per bus per school year. Drivers/Contractors will assist the School Committee, as necessary, in any investigation into such vandalism. Any monies received as restitution will be used to restore, on a dollar-for dollar basis, any deductions made from the “account” for that bus. Contractors will submit proof of vandalism, upon request, prior to any reimbursement being made. Items damaged by normal wear and tear are not subject to replacement/reimbursement under the terms of this paragraph.
n.o.The Supervisor of Transportation will meet with the President of the Association at least twice a year to discuss ways to equalize fees paid to contractors. The first meeting shall be held before the forty-fifth (45th) day of school.
o.p.No contractor or driver shall use a bus for any purpose other than that authorized by the Supervisor of Transportation or his/her designated representative. Unauthorized use of a vehicle governed by this agreement may result in revocation of the contract as it applies to that vehicle or other such measures as the School Committee may deem appropriate. The decision as to the disposition of an instance of unauthorized use rests solely with and at the discretion of the School Department. In the event that the Transportation Office has to obtain a driver for a contractor, for either a Home-to-School route or a field/extracurricular trip, a charge equal to fifty (50%) per cent of the daily rate or scheduled fee may be assessed.
p.Should the Rhode Island Department or Health or any other governmental body require specific cleaning due to Covid-19, the School Committee shall supply each bus with the required cleaning supplies.
2. FIELD TRIPS
a. After field trips are assigned, it shall be the responsibility of the contractor to provide a driver and vehicle for each trip. The contractor must provide the Transportation Office, at least two working days prior to the departure of the trip, with the name of the driver and any other pertinent information. Contractors who refuse a trip, once assigned, may be subject to an assessment equal to the payment for a Category I trip as identified in Addendum B hereto.
b. A payment equal to a Category I trip rate charge, as noted in Addendum B, will be made to a contractor whose bus arrives for a field trip that is subsequently cancelled without prior notification. Conversely, any contractor who fails to fulfill a properly scheduled and assigned trip will be assessed an amount equivalent to a Category I charge.
c. All field trips require the driver and vehicle to remain at the field trip location. An exception to this requirement may be made only after consultation with the individual teacher or coach who requested the trip with the final approval resting solely with the Transportation Office. No extra time or mileage will accrue as a result of a driver/vehicle leaving a trip and returning at a later time.

3. VEHICLES
a. The School Committee shall inform the Association of any anticipated increase or decrease in the overall number of buses to be used to provide service. In the event that the School Committee votes to go out to bid for a new contractor, said contractor will be required to reimburse the independent bus contractor for the Fair Market Value (FMV) of his/her vehicle or pay for any remaining payments on the vehicle, whichever is the greater amount, as long as the original payment schedule is up to date and there are no late payments due.
b. All contractors will submit bus specifications to the School Department for review and approval before any bus, except those buses purchased from an existing contractor, is placed in service. It is the responsibility of each contractor to provide these specifications sufficiently ahead of time to allow for adequate review and approval of the proposed vehicle prior to it being placed in service. Vehicles may be equipped with video camera boxes or devices compatible with the recording system in use and a mobile phone. In the event that the School Committee determines that it will require vehicles to be equipped with devices such as GPS, video cameras, recording system, etc., the Association shall work with the School Committee to obtain said devices.
c. The School Department shall have the authority to remove any vehicle from service for safety reasons. Any vehicle removed from service shall not be allowed to transport students until approved by the School Department and/or the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles as appropriate. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to provide a spare vehicle during this period, at no additional cost to the School Department. All buses governed by this agreement shall be kept in good operating condition. Any necessary repairs shall be made in a reasonable amount of time at the expense of the contractor concerned.
d. The School Department shall supply diesel fuel for student busing. e. The School Department shall insure and register all buses engaged in providing service under

upon termination of the Agreement, title reverts to the contractor. However, if the contractor wishes to sell the bus within 3 months after the reversion, the School Department has a right of first refusal.
h. The Association shall provide at least six approved Spare Buses. Spare Buses are to be utilized primarily as back-ups for First Line Buses that become incapacitated. The

d. Individual bus contractors, with the approval of the North Kingstown School Committee may in some cases hire drivers to operate their bus.
e. At any time the North Kingstown School Committee can remove a bus driver from driving a bus.
f. The members of the Association are required to follow all policies and regulations adopted by the North Kingstown School Committee.
g. The incident of a breakdown of a school bus or the failure of a Driver/Contractor to complete his/her scheduled run shall not increase the cost to the North Kingstown School Department. If another bus assists, that additional mileage shall not be charged to the School Department nor shall the School Department pay more than the average daily mileage of the bus involved.
h. The Driver and/or Contractor of a Bus that breaks down or fails to complete their assigned run or trip and does not notify the Transportation Office may be assessed a charge not to exceed an amount equal to the payment for a Category I trip as identified in Addendum B hereto.
i. Contractors shall strictly comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local rules and regulations, as well as the Transportation Policy of the School Committee, at all times while providing service under the terms of this agreement.
j. Contractors shall maintain a written record for all repairs and maintenance conducted on each bus and shall retain this record until such time as the vehicle is taken out of service. These records shall be made available to the School Department upon request. All maintenance and repairs shall be listed on a form provided by the Transportation Office. This form shall be submitted to the Transportation Office at least once a month and retained for the service life of the bus in compliance with R. I. General Law 31-22-11.2. The School Committee shall have the authority to remove vehicles from service if these reports are not submitted for two consecutive months. Contractors will be subject to a fine equivalent to the rate charged for a Category 1 trip as identified in Addendum B hereto for each month in excess of two months that said reports are not submitted. The continued failure to submit forms shall be adequate reason to terminate the agreement with the contractor concerned.
k. Contractors are responsible for any eye test necessary for any required or requested examination. The North Kingstown School Department shall incur the cost for regular drug testing of drivers. However, in the event that the District has reason to suspect that a driver is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, the driver shall be responsible for the cost of any drug testing required. A refusal by a driver to undergo drug testing shall result in an automatic termination of the driver. Any driver who operates a school bus in service to the School Department will have furnished to their contractors a valid pre-employment drug/alcohol test and completed background check. This information shall be on file with the School Department and will be subject to random testing as required by law. All drivers are required to register on the Department of Transportation Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse website.
l. The School Committee reserves the right of final approval for every driver operating a bus for the School Department, and may reject any individual. Every contractor must submit the names and addresses of their drivers to the Transportation Office not later than August 1 of each school year for approval.

m. The School Committee reserves the right to engage the services of a different service provider should the Association be unable/unwilling to provide a contractor for any routes that may be needed by the District.
n. Reimbursement for damage to a contracted vehicle caused by passenger vandalism will be limited to a maximum of two hundred dollars ($200.00) per bus per school year. Drivers/Contractors will assist the School Committee, as necessary, in any investigation into such vandalism. Any monies received as restitution will be used to restore, on a dollar-for dollar basis, any deductions made from the “account” for that bus. Contractors will submit proof of vandalism, upon request, prior to any reimbursement being made. Items damaged by normal wear and tear are not subject to replacement/reimbursement under the terms of this paragraph.
o. The Supervisor of Transportation will meet with the President of the Association at least twice a year to discuss ways to equalize fees paid to contractors. The first meeting shall be held before the forty-fifth (45th) day of school.
p. No contractor or driver shall use a bus for any purpose other than that authorized by the Supervisor of Transportation or his/her designated representative. Unauthorized use of a vehicle governed by this agreement may result in revocation of the contract as it applies to that vehicle or other such measures as the School Committee may deem appropriate. The decision as to the disposition of an instance of unauthorized use rests solely with and at the discretion of the School Department. In the event that the Transportation Office has to obtain a driver for a contractor, for either a Home-to-School route or a field/extracurricular trip, a charge equal to fifty (50%) per cent of the daily rate or scheduled fee may be assessed.
q. Should the Rhode Island Department or Health or any other governmental body require specific cleaning due to Covid-19, the School Committee shall supply each bus with the required cleaning supplies.
2. FIELD TRIPS
a. After field trips are assigned, it shall be the responsibility of the contractor to provide a driver and vehicle for each trip. The contractor must provide the Transportation Office, at least two working days prior to the departure of the trip, with the name of the driver and any other pertinent information. Contractors who refuse a trip, once assigned, may be subject to an assessment equal to the payment for a Category I trip as identified in Addendum B hereto.
b. A payment equal to a Category I trip rate charge, as noted in Addendum B, will be made to a contractor whose bus arrives for a field trip that is subsequently cancelled without prior notification. Conversely, any contractor who fails to fulfill a properly scheduled and assigned trip will be assessed an amount equivalent to a Category I charge.
c. All field trips require the driver and vehicle to remain at the field trip location. An exception to this requirement may be made only after consultation with the individual teacher or coach who requested the trip with the final approval resting solely with the Transportation Office. No extra time or mileage will accrue as a result of a driver/vehicle leaving a trip and returning at a later time.
d. A charge equal to one hour of trip time shall be paid to a contractor in the event that extraordinary post-trip cleaning of the bus is necessary. The client shall be notified at the

time that they sign the field trip report that this charge will be assessed. The addition of this charge must be listed separately on the field trip report and is subject to final approval by the Transportation Office.
3. VEHICLES
a. The School Committee shall inform the Association of any anticipated increase or decrease in the overall number of buses to be used to provide service. In the event that the School Committee votes to go out to bid for a new contractor, said contractor will be required to reimburse the independent bus contractor for the Fair Market Value (FMV) of his/her vehicle or pay for any remaining payments on the vehicle, whichever is the greater amount, as long as the original payment schedule is up to date and there are no late payments due.
b. All contractors will submit bus specifications to the School Department for review and approval before any bus, except those buses purchased from an existing contractor, is placed in service. It is the responsibility of each contractor to provide these specifications sufficiently ahead of time to allow for adequate review and approval of the proposed vehicle prior to it being placed in service. Vehicles may be equipped with video camera boxes or devices compatible with the recording system in use and a mobile phone. In the event that the School Committee determines that it will require vehicles to be equipped with devices such as GPS, video cameras, recording system, etc., the Association shall work with the School Committee to obtain said devices.
c. The School Department shall have the authority to remove any vehicle from service for safety reasons. Any vehicle removed from service shall not be allowed to transport students until approved by the School Department and/or the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles as appropriate. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to provide a spare vehicle during this period, at no additional cost to the School Department. All buses governed by this agreement shall be kept in good operating condition. Any necessary repairs shall be made in a reasonable amount of time at the expense of the contractor concerned.
d. The School Department shall supply diesel fuel for student busing. e. The School Department shall insure and register all buses engaged in providing service under
the terms of this agreement.
f. Each contractor is responsible for maintenance and upkeep to the vehicle(s) he/she operates under this agreement including all parts, fluids (except diesel fuel), tires, labor charges, etc.
g. Upon the execution of the Agreement, title to the bus transfers to the School Department and, upon termination of the Agreement, title reverts to the contractor. However, if the contractor wishes to sell the bus within 3 months after the reversion, the School Department has a right of first refusal.
h. The Association shall provide at least six approved Spare Buses. Spare Buses are to be utilized primarily as back-ups for First Line Buses that become incapacitated. The Association shall establish internal procedures to insure availability of all Spare Buses to the School Department.

k. No bus, other than a Spare Bus, will be allowed to operate beyond twelve (12) years unless requested by the NKBCA in writing and with express written approval of the NKSC.
l. Prior to use, the contractor must present evidence that the vehicle has passed all inspections required by the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles and any other agency with jurisdiction over the operation of these busses.
4. SAFETY
a. Monitors: The School Department will provide bus monitors as required. It will be the responsibility of the individual contractor/driver to verify that a bus monitor is present and properly performing his/her duties. If not, the contractor/driver will immediately notify the Transportation Office. The contractor/driver shall work cooperatively with the monitor to ensure compliance with all safety rules and regulations.
b. Drills: School Bus Contractors will perform emergency exit drills, along with a demonstration of the public address system on each bus, twice per school year, with the first such drill to be conducted in September. These drills will be conducted in accordance with the “Guidelines for Conducting Emergency Exit Drills” as set forth in the National Standards for School Bus Operation. Both drills will be individually documented on a Field Trip Report that will be submitted to the Transportation Office with the mileage documentation for the week in which each drill is conducted.
