Update:  12/8/2020

Beginning Wednesday, December 9th, Wayne Local Schools will be using the Alternative Transportation Plan. We will be shifting employees around to utilize their best abilities in an effort to continue to keep our school functioning smoothly.  As a result, one or more bus routes will be absorbed into other routes, where your student’s bus number and times will change.  

This will affect Buses 3, 7, 9, 15, 16.  See below Alternative Transportation Plan for details.

Although this is not imminent, we need for parents to be prepared to transport their children to and from school if we continue to have struggles in transportation.

We appreciate your patience while we continue to provide transportation for our students.

 

What is the Alternative Transportation Plan? 

 

STUDENTS THAT RIDE BUS #3 WILL RIDE A DIFFERENT BUS - SEE BELOW. 

STUDENTS THAT CURRENTLY RIDE BUS #7, BUS #9, BUS #15, AND BUS #16 – PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL BE PICKED UP AT AN EARLIER TIME FRAME.

 

Wayne Local Schools may use an Alternative Transportation Plan at any given time in the future.  

This means that we will shift our employees around to utilize their abilities in the best way possible in an effort to continue to keep our school functioning smoothly.  As a result, one or more bus routes may be absorbed into other routes, where your student’s bus number and times will change.  (*subject to change if necessary)

If we need to use the Alternative Transportation Plan, you will be notified using our Phone Alert system that we use for calamity days.  We will also post to website and social media.  THIS WILL OCCUR ONLY WHEN THE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS NEEDED.
