Dear Columbia Families,
We would like to thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate the recent challenges affecting our bus routes.
Unfortunately, we have had to cancel routes frequently. These disruptions have been caused by a combination of factors, including medical emergencies, unforeseen family circumstances, and ongoing driver shortages. Please know that these cancellations are never a decision we take lightly, as we understand how essential reliable transportation is to your daily routines and your children’s education.
We are actively working to address these challenges by exploring all possible solutions. We have had to redevelop a number of routes to ensure that all of our students are transported. Please check with your children and ask them if they received a letter. If a letter was received, please review so that you are aware of possible route changes and bus stop times.
Your support and understanding are deeply appreciated as we strive to maintain the safety and efficiency of our transportation services.
Thank you,
Jim Baker
Superintendent of Schools
