Stafford School Board Chair Addresses Transportation Failures Amid Calls for Independent Investigation

Siegmund

Stafford County School Board Chair Maureen Siegmund, elected in 2021 to represent the Garrisonville District, spoke with Potomac Local News for the first time since the school division failed to provide transportation to more than 3,000 students at the start of the school year. The transportation issues, which affected about 10% of the student population, left parents struggling to find alternate ways to get their children to school for nearly two weeks.

Siegmund addressed the growing calls for an independent investigation into the transportation breakdown, stating, "We don't know yet what that [investigation] will look like. The RFQs [Requests for Qualifications] are out, and once we get through that process, we'll determine what that looks like." When asked if any personnel changes had been made within the transportation department, Siegmund was unable to provide specifics but emphasized that discussions have been ongoing.
