🚌 Transportation Update!

We’re pleased to share that an agreement has been reached between Durham School Services and the union representing its school bus operators.

Thank you for your patience and partnership as we worked through this situation. We look forward to welcoming our students back for a great first day on Monday, Aug. 10.

🔷Please lookout for additional information this weekend on our platforms to learn more about how we're working to enhance the transportation experience for students and families, what to expect on the first few days of school (increased traffic and delays), and tips on how students and families can help!

Today’s Char-CARE-erie Board was the most fun with our amazing teachers and staff. Everyone had the opportunity to build their own bag of emergency essentials. From nail files and Shout Wipes to instant oatmeal and coffee pods, our team is ready to go! 🫶🙌
