All 880 buses maintained by the district, including the 640 buses that run daily routes, are equipped with new tablets that provide turn-by-turn directions for every route. 

The bus hotline for Jefferson County Public Schools families is officially live ahead of the new school year.

If the form is not filled out in time, the district cannot guarantee transportation for the student.

Jefferson County Public Schools held a hiring blitz Friday, the latest attempt to bolster the district's roster of bus drivers.

The state's largest school district said around 1,000 magnet and traditional school students had their bus stops reinstated. 

Stops will be assigned later this month, with routes expected to be restored March 17.

The district said TARC drivers are continuing to test and get certifications to drive the school buses.

The federal civil rights lawsuit filed in June argues the district's decision to cut transportation for thousands of magnet and traditional students violates students' civil rights.

A vote on restoring routes is not expected at Tuesday's meeting, as the recommended motion is to, "receive an update regarding the current state of Transportation within Jefferson County Public Schools."
