Once again, the district appreciates the patience shown during this unfortunate event. As previously stated, no one including the driver of the other vehicle sustained injuries from the accident.

At approximately 4:00pm, bus # 9 was involved in an accident. At this point, we have no details other than no one was injured. A second bus was dispatched to the location and will take students home. Due to insurance protocol, students can't be released to parents/guardians at the location of the accident. Please be patient with the district and know the safety of the students and bus driver is most important.
