A review of route cards, bell times and family transfer notes finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the coach board at Ash Yard School. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: a cooling pipe repair closes the shortest stair two mornings each week.
The route cards, bell times and family transfer notes lists 88 children reaching school on a route marked open; the previous window lists 88. Grikka Ash checked both against crew logs compared with the inspection card for the same shift. The source was checked against a second copy held by Miri Coil. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The route office posts the planned closure. Families say the change also affects the return coach. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how the school posts a reliable route when maintenance changes by shift.
The clerk attaches the contract copy and the crew’s original handoff card. The Year first, cinder winter window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The school will publish an outbound and return route for every repair day.
