News & Announcements
Due to the recent resignation of a bus driver as well as being short a regular bus driver that is on medical leave, we find ourselves in a bus driver shortage. Starting Monday 9/26/22, we are going to start eliminating one AM/PM route every day. Parents of that route will be responsible for transporting their student(s) until we fill the bus driver vacancies.
It is our hope that once we fill the position and the regular driver returns from medical leave, we can go back to normal bus services. Information was sent via Infinite Campus (Email, Text) per individual route last Friday (9/23) making families aware of the disrupted service schedule. *Note: If you did not receive this notification and your child rides buses 2-6, please contact Deb Iott at 734-856-1443 Ext. 401 to check on your notifications settings in Infinite Campus.
There still may be double bus routes on certain days because of athletic trips and or a sub is not available for a route, but that will be communicated to all families with explanation. Here is the how the system will work:
NO Bussing will be provided AM or PM for the following buses on these days starting 9/26/22:
Mondays Bus #2
Tuesdays Bus #3
Wednesdays Bus #4
Thursdays Bus #5
Fridays Bus #6
Bus #1 (Special Ed) and Bus #7 (Already has sub driver) will have bussing every day, unless we experience a sub shortage.
If you have any questions or your family is experiencing a hardship with the new system, please contact Charlie Butz at: cbutz@whiteford.k12.mi.us. We appreciate the support of our community as we navigate staffing shortages.
