Dear Students and Parents:
Currently route changes for routes 4, 10 and 14 have been posted on the website. Routes 4 & 10 are currently being run with the changes. Route 14 changes take effect on Monday, Sept. 28.
There still is a county-wide bus driver shortage which affects all of the bus contractors not just Advanced. Fortunately we have all of our drivers, but the shortage affects substitute drivers for us.
We are still in the process of making small changes in many of the routes and may issue additional route changes in the near future. We do appreciate your patience. Currently, we are about a half of the way into the email requests for bus changes so it will take some time to make the corrections. We are not ignoring the requests but, unfortunately, it just takes time.
If you are at a stop and are wondering if the bus is late, please call Advanced Transportation at 998-6726 and they should be able to tell you the status of the bus. We do not have any of that information at the Charter office. Remember, their dispatchers receive a large number of calls in the morning and if you can’t get through on the phone, keep trying.
We also appreciate the emails and telephone calls informing us of suggestions. We can be reached at jdesmond@charterschool.org.
Please do not call because the telephone calls will be handled after the emails.
