Community Letter-Bus 27 for 5.24.22

May 23, 2022

Dear MSAD #60 Community;

This letter is to provide information on a current Transportation Department challenge. Due to a driver shortage, Bus 27 (Tina) will not be able to run as scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, 2022. We have been unable to find a substitute driver for the bus run and need to ask the assistance of families whose students ride that bus to transport them to and from school. There are a high number of drivers out on Tuesday, across all bus runs, and while this is a last resort decision, we are left with no other options at this time.

When transporting your child to and from school, please be aware of the start times for arrival and dismissal at the three schools impacted by the driver shortage for Bus 27:

Noble High School Drop Off: 7:00am Pick up: 2:25pm

Noble Middle School Drop Off: 7:00am Pick Up: 2:20pm

Hanson/Lebanon Elementary Drop Off: 8:20am Pick Up: 3:20pm

We realize this causes an additional challenge to the daily routine and thank everyone in advance for the assistance.

At this time all other bus routes are covered.

Sincerely,

Audra E. Beauvais

Superintendent of Schools
