Plan B Route Follow-up
Plan B Routes►Purpose - allow schools to open on days
when inclement weather would normally result in school closure
►Method Move stops from smaller roads that are
unplowed to more heavily-travelled roads that are plowed
Eliminate sections of roads that do not have a reliable turnaround
Implement county-wide during each incident
2013-14 Decisions vs Surrounding Counties
► Final Results for 29 Occurrences►Closed
ACPS 38% Surrounding counties 54%
►Open full day ACPS 45% Surrounding counties 23%

Surrounding Counties
►Surveyed eight surrounding counties Seven do not have a Plan B Some tried and experienced dramatic drop in
attendance One has a Plan B (Greene)
►Total enrollment 3,128 (vs 13,623)►Area 157 sq miles (vs 724)►Have used Sheriff vehicles to transport Sw/IEP►15% of students impacted►ACPS open 62%, GC open 46%
Challenges
►Consolidation increases risk at stops Line of sight reduced Slippery roads Crowded stops
► Impact on Sw/IEP with existing tport vehicles►Added cost for Routing
Must maintain two sets of routes (1 FTE-worth of added work)
Routes would have different arrival times
Challenges
►Driver and staff attendance reduced►PM Supervision► Implementation logistics – need to
implement county-wide
Advantages
► Less disruptive to parents’ work schedule►Possibly more class time►Possibly more meals served
Current Activities
►Automatic chains►VDOT coordination► Fuel additive
