Good Afternoon Husky Nation!
This is a message to notify constituents that we have agreed to partner with a new busing company. This company is a South Dakota-owned company out of Miller, South Dakota. The school district has been working with the First Student group for the past 4 years and decided that we needed to explore options for consistent routes. An email indicating the route driver information for routes 1 through 5 will be sent out later today. There may be some hiccups in the transition, but once we are up and running, consistency and predictability in busing should be expected.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
