BUS ROUTES

 

As a district, we are still considering the possibility of going from 4 routes down to 3 routes next year.  I have heard from a few parents concerning the additional time for students on buses.  I would like to hear from more parents concerning this issue.  If we would go down to 3 routes, we are estimating that there could be an additional 30 minutes added to each route.  Please, let me know your thoughts.  You can email me at shelly_shipman@brashear.k12.mo.us or call at 660.323.5272.
