Not sure about that, but the third party did previously screw up a similar
project in Ohio.

Correct.

For some reason, they decided to "mix things up" and recreate the wheel.
That reason was supposedly a lack of bus drivers, but I don't think the
multi-staggered approach they came up with really addresses that.  They are
overworking the drivers they do have while keeping elementary kids (in
particular) away from home a whole lot of extra time.

The first day of school was 8/9.  They cancelled school to have time to
"fix the issue" from 8/10-8/17.  On 8/18, the Jr High and elementary school
kids went back.  My neice is an elementary student.  Her school now lets
out at 4:20pm.  The bus is scheduled to let her off at her bus stop at
6:15pm.  On Friday, 8/18, its projected arrival time was 7:50pm.

Luckily she didn't ride the bus that day.  The administrators cannot figure
out that a school bus ride (that requires a bus change!) that it scheduled
to last 2 hours upsets parents when the school is less than 5 miles away.

IMHO, I think they are trying to force parents to start providing their own
transportation rather than provide the transporation that the parents' tax
dollars are supposedly paying for.

IMHO, most teachers are better than the administrators who come up with
these ideas.  Not all, mind you, but most of them.  That said, I still take
your point as it is the administrators that set the tone for the rest of
the system.  At this rate, I wonder if they won't have to lower the math
standards just so the administrators will understand it.
