Dear Homer Schools Community,

In the event that we are not able to run our typical bus routes, we will implement the Alternative Transportation Model. This model consolidates bus routes, requiring fewer runs while ensuring student capacity remains well below the 66-passenger limit.   It is our intent for this model to alleviate the need for a virtual day due to a staff shortage.

We will notify families via ParentSquare as soon as we confirm a driver shortage. Later today, families whose children are affected will receive specific details regarding pickup and drop-off times for days when this model is in use.  If you do not receive a communication later today, your child is unaffected by the change.  

Please contact our transportation department at 607.749.1221 if you have any questions regarding the Alternative Transportation Model.  We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to maintain safe and reliable transportation for our students.
