Transportation

The District is currently experiencing a shortage of bus drivers and routes may need to be staggered from time to time to ensure that all students receive transportation to school.  As a result, bus stop pickup times may be delayed by 20 to 30 minutes to allow buses to run back-to-back routes.  When this occurs, we expect that the staggering should only impact a few routes.  We currently have enough drivers to cover our regularly scheduled routes, however, we do not have a sufficient number of backup drivers to cover when a driver is absent.

On days when we need to implement staggered routes due to staff shortages, families will be notified as early as possible, but in most cases, it will be at 6:00 am when route changes are finalized.  Families will receive an email and phone call to notify them of the delay.  We encourage families to make sure their contact information is up to date and that they have a plan ready in case your student’s route is impacted.  We also ask everyone to support our transportation department by promoting our available bus driver positions.
