The
KAPT
has developed a mentoring program that is available free of charge to directors
who need assistance or guidance with their roles and responsibilities. This
service is available regardless of whether the director is a member of our
organization, although s/he will certainly be welcome to join in order to take
full advantage of all of KAPT's benefits.
Superintendents
and/or Transportation Directors may contact me to request being partnered with
a mentor who will serve as a resource for information and will be available to
share his/her experience and expertise in the many areas of transportation
responsibility.
There
is no expense involved unless your director would like to travel to another
district, in which case we will make arrangements for your director to visit a
district with similar situations, resources etc. Again, there is no obligation
to join KAPT, although we hope this offer demonstrates our organizations
commitment to professionalism regarding the SAFE and efficient transportation
of our states most precious resource our students.
For more
information or to request a mentoring partner to be assigned to your director,
contact me at michael.mccloud@bgreen.kyschools.us
