As we continue to work on the busing issue, we want to give everyone an update as of the morning on Friday, Sept. 15.
Although there has been improvement, the current issues that remain are unacceptable to both the Valley Central School District and the bus company. While it is likely to take several days or more to address all of the issues we have experienced, we are continuing to work with the bus company on these concerns and remain committed to providing a student transportation service as promised by the new contract.
