The Board approved a second reading of a revised transportation policy (Policy EE). The proposed pilot program would limit students to one designated bus stop and adjust walking distances. This is a major shift in daily logistics for many families.

The safety debate was sharp. One member noted that the issue of student supervision 'keeps me up at night.' Despite these concerns, the Board voted 8-1 to proceed with the pilot program rather than pausing to address supervision gaps.

Even more concerning: The Board rejected an 8-1 amendment that would have required the district to notify the Town of impassable sidewalks and roads to ensure safe winter walking routes. Residents deserve to know why safety safeguards were voted down. https://meetingwatch.org/me/brunswick/school-board/2026-05-13/

Longer-form draft.
At the May 13 Brunswick School Board meeting, significant decisions were made regarding student transportation that directly impact the daily safety and routines of local families. The Board approved a second reading of a proposed transportation pilot program (Policy EE). This program would change how students are moved, including limiting students to a single designated bus stop and adjusting walkout distances. While the Board framed this as a way to address driver shortages, the discussion revealed deep concerns regarding student supervision and safety during these transitions. Most notably, the Board rejected an 8-1 amendment that would have mandated the district notify the Town of impassable roads and sidewalks during the winter. The goal of the amendment was to ensure that student walking routes are cleared of snow and ice, preventing safety issues from 'falling through the cracks.' Despite members expressing that these safety and supervision issues were significant enough to 'keep them up at night,' the Board voted to move forward with the policy changes and rejected the formal safety notification requirement. We will continue to monitor how these changes affect our students and whether the district follows through on safety discussions with the Town Manager. https://meetingwatch.org/me/brunswick/school-board/2026-05-13/ #MeetingWatch #BrunswickME
