Routing software typically reduces total miles 8-15%, not the 25-30% commonly quoted. The remaining miles are bound by bell-time constraints, geographic dispersion of stops, and contractually required maximum ride times — none of which routing software can move. Real savings come from bell-schedule changes, not better algorithms.
Districts that buy routing software expecting headline savings underestimate the bell-time conversation that actually unlocks them. The conversation is harder than the procurement.
FERPA permits disclosure of "directory information" without consent if the institution has noticed students of the categories and the right to opt out. The defect: many institutions treat the categories as broad (full address, full schedule) when narrower defaults would meet operational needs. A student suing on a directory disclosure typically wins on overbreadth, not technical violation.
Tightening directory-information defaults is free, low-risk, and removes a category of avoidable complaints. Most institutions inherited their lists from a prior generation of administrators.
Category One (telecommunications and internet access) has higher discount rates and is essentially uncapped; Category Two (internal connections, managed services) has a five-year per-student budget cap. Mixing the categories on a single application typically delays funding by a full cycle.
Schools that misclassify equipment requests get bumped to the wrong queue and miss the funding-year window. The discount can be 20-90% depending on poverty rate, so the stakes are substantial.
