Due to yesterday evening's storm, which left debris on roads and caused power outages, Lawrence County KY Schools will operate on a 1-hour delay today, Monday, August 17. Because our buses start early in the morning, this delay allows daylight for drivers and emergency teams to safely evaluate road conditions. Please travel safely. Any further updates will be shared through our normal channels. #LCisHome

As we begin a new school year, our LC Schools Transportation Department is excited to welcome our students back on the buses!
The first few days of school are always a busy time for transportation. Bus routes, stops, and arrival times may take a little time to settle into a consistent routine. We appreciate our families' patience and understanding as our drivers work hard to transport every student safely and efficiently.
A few reminders for families:
🚌 Please have students at their bus stop at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
🚌 During the first several days, buses may run earlier or later than expected as drivers become familiar with their routes and students.
🚌 Please remind students to follow the driver’s instructions and practice safe, respectful behavior while riding the bus.
🚌 Drivers will be especially careful with younger students and new riders as everyone becomes familiar with their stops and routines.
Our bus drivers and transportation staff carry an important responsibility each day, and student safety will always be our top priority. We ask everyone to be patient with our buses on the road and to remember to STOP when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
Thank you to our drivers, transportation staff, school personnel, parents, and guardians for working together to make the start of the school year safe and successful. As always, my door is open if you have questions or concerns.
We look forward to a great year and many safe miles ahead! 🚌📚
