Scott Layne, right, selected Kayne Smith to lead the transition from Dallas County Schools based on his transportation leadership at four other Texas school districts.
With so many moving parts, expected time of arrival is a big need in Big D that the tech bid calls on GPS providers to fill. Another wish-list item is driver compliance. One of the many recent media exposés concerning DCS operations centered on school bus drivers caught on video running red lights. Dallas ISD wants a solution that provides a real-time picture of all fleet operations.
Tat includes a parent-facing app. “Eventually they’ll know if their kids are on the bus, if they’re getting off the bus,” Layne added. “A phone call’s great, but parents want to know immediately, so if we can provide that technology for them, we’re going to do that.” Layne identified Smith as the man to oversee the transi- tion with help of the district listed just behind Dallas ISD in the state rankings of fleet size, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in the Houston area. Tat is where Smith was the assistant director of human resources for the transportation department before moving to Beaumont ISD, where he most recently was the senior director for the past year. Cy-Fair was one five districts statewide—the others being Houston ISD, Austin ISD, Fort Worth ISD and Aldeen ISD—that Layne looked into in terms of technology utilized, organizational structure and budgets when he began the initial planning of what Dallas ISD’s opera- tion might eventually look like. “We were contacted by Dallas ISD in November and sched- uled an on-site visit with them in December,” recalled William Powell, director of transportation for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD and a former president of the Texas Association for Pupil Trans- portation. “Te model they were most interested in was our tiered-routing system and our organizational structure to increase their transportation efficiencies. Additionally, we discussed our use of technology for student safety to account for and verify stu- dent riders and vehicle telematics that allows us to be proactive in vehicle maintenance to decrease vehicle down-time and repairs. During the meeting, Powell said Dallas ISD determined that many of its transportation challenges centered around its choice
All Major A/C Brands COMPRESSOR OIL CAPACITY
When replacing the A/C compressor or any A/C system component it’s important to replace any compressor oil lost during parts change. A low oil level can starve the compressor for oil and lead to compressor failure. BEWARE: Do not overfill too much oil will hinder cooling performance. General guidelines for replacing oil when changing components:
• Accumulator • Compressor
- - -
2.0oz 1.4oz
• Condenser - 1.0oz • Evaporator • Hoses
- 1.0oz • Receiver drier - 1.0oz
The total oil added to compensate for parts replacement should NEVER exceed total oil capacity for system. It’s always recommended to follow OEM recommendations.
