Transportation Services
As we approach the end of the school year, it is time to begin planning transportation needs for the 2024-2025 school year. We wanted to provide parents and guardians with information regarding transportation updates that will be implemented next fall.
Due to safety concerns and snow removal, buses will not be entering housing developments. If the neighborhood does not have a bus loop riders in those areas will be assigned to a pick up point. Students will only be transported to their residence. We will not be able to transport students to a relative's house or an at home daycare. Additionally, please be aware that only registered students may ride the bus, friends or additional passengers cannot be transported to or from school.
Unfortunately, last school year we had hundreds of stop sign runs during the highway bus stops. This is a significant safety concern for our children, and with the increase of truck traffic on the highways, this concern has grown. Due to this, we will no longer be making highway stops. Students who were formerly picked up on the highway will be assigned to a pick up point.
As always, we are looking for people to drive a bus. If you or someone you know are interested in driving for Blair Community Schools, please contact the Bus Barn at (402)426-4509. This is a great opportunity to support our students and community, while also earning some extra income. Due to driver shortages we are reviewing bus routes for next school year, and adjustments or alternative options are being considered. This may also require some students to be assigned pick up points.
If your child requested transportation for the 2024-2025 school year, you will be contacted with confirmation and details of your transportation assignment. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Tyler M. Siecke
