Good evening,
Most of our district road conditions have improved, although there are still a handful of slick spots/areas. All buses will run their regular routes Thursday, January 29th and Friday, January 30th. Route drivers will contact individual families if the deem specific roads/areas to not be safe. Once again we would like to thank the Road Commissioners and their crews for their continued efforts to keep our roads safe as well as our Transportation Department and Bus Drivers as they transport our students to and from school safely.
