My child goes to Stribling Elem and rides bus 27. We have recently moved to 123 Oak Grove in the Brock Elementary area. What bus will my child ride now and where is the stop?
A: If you move out of an attendance zone and choose to remain at the current campus, no transportation is available. However, if you move and are still eligible for transportation services at the new campus, we receive an update on your address from the district in the Skyward system. At this point, a new driver will call you with new information on Bus numbers, stops, and times.
