Because of a lack of available bus drivers due to COVID, some Bowling Green City Schools students will need to find other transportation to and from school on Thursday and Friday.
Superintendent Francis Scruci sent out the following letter to parents, guardian and staff:
“Our administrative team met at noon today and worked on possible solutions to overcome the situation we are facing with a lack of available drivers to transport our students to and from school.
“Our primary goal was to keep our students in a face to face environment. With that being said, buses 15, 20, 24, and 25 will not be running on Thursday, October 14 and Friday, October 15. Parents of students on those buses will need to transport their student(s) to school on those two days. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
“Penta students impacted by this will need to be dropped off at the high school bus loop by 7:20 in order to be transported to Penta.
“If you have any questions, please contact your building principal.
“Please know that this is a fluid situation and additional communication may need to be made that would impact the start of next school week.”
The district transports nearly 1,600 students per day.
