SUBJECT: LATCH KEY PROGRAM LEGI'SLATJON,
91
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECO IMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the County Administrator to contact
our legislative elegaton as well as the author of the legislation to
ask that an ameni.
amendment be introduced to the Latch Key Program legislation
to make it more flexible with regard to the use of school buses .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The recent legislation which established
the Latch Key Program apparently creates obstacles for contractors to
use their own buses . j' The legislation requires that bus transportation
be provided by the local school district .
In the case of the Pre-School Coordinating Council contract in
Pittsburg, the Pittsburg Unified School District does not- h-,ve 'enough
buses to handle the 40 children that the pre-school must serve in its
contract . However , the Pre-School Coordinating Council has certified
yellow school buses of its own with trained and CHP-certified drivers .
It seems apparent that the legislation should be amended to allow
contracted school agencies to utilize their own resources .
