Dear Panther Families,
Thank you for your continued patience with our transportation challenges. Here are some updates:
First, it looks like the south bus will not run for the remainder of the school year. A van will go out to the furthest stops, Bell Springs, Laytonville, and Cummings in the mornings and the afternoons. If this changes, we will let you know.
Second, the north bus will continue to run with the exception of this Friday, May 17. There will be no transportation to and from Leggett Valley School from Redway, Garberville, Piercy, and other north stops this Friday. Ruby is covering the school office for the remainder of the school year and will be calling parents to try to help organize a carpool. Please call the school office to connect with Ruby if you are able to help.
Lastly, we are working on getting more drivers trained to try to help avoid this situation in the future. If you or anyone you know is interested in being trained to drive a bus, please call Korina at the District Office.
Getting kids to and from school is a top priority and we are so grateful for your patience. Have a wonderful day.
