This year, our District will be experiencing a net loss of over $100,000 in regional transportation aid. Due to this reduction in funding, we have been working with our two bus companies to consolidate routing. Although we do not anticipate the process will have a major impact for most students, some students will be reassigned to a different bus route.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope you understand that we are working to make the best use of our resources while continuing to provide appropriate transportation to our students.
