Spencer County Elementary School

𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬: 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡

As you are aware, we have hired three new full-time drivers to help address capacity challenges and improve on-time arrivals. With that being said, several bus route changes will take effect Monday. These updates will help balance loads, reduce travel times, and keep routes running efficiently. As we continue to grow as a district, we will face some growing pains. Attached is information relating to route changes, an announcement has also been posted in Rooms.

The following routes will have changes — some are major, some are minor: 𝟐, 𝟑, 𝟒, 𝟓, 𝟔, 𝟕, 𝟗, 𝟏𝟒, 𝟏𝟕, 𝟏𝟗, 𝟐𝟔, 𝟐𝟕, 𝟐𝟖.

Please verify the stop times and locations for your student. We’ve made high school and middle school loading as efficient as possible—both schools now clear the lot in about three minutes. Our elementary departure times depend entirely on how quickly the high school/middle school routes run which is part of the puzzle we are working to solve. With many sports starting earlier, and temperature, our goal is to get students home as quickly as possible.

𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 – Please update your child’s transportation tag with the correct route before Monday morning. Stop times are estimates and will briefly change as we run these new routes. There are very few actual stop locations have changed. Some times may be big adjustments, but they’ll help close the gap between first and last drop-offs, get students home earlier, and leave a little more room on buses.

We know it will take a few days to settle into the new schedule, but these changes will make a positive difference for all riders.

If you have any questions, please email cameron.chesser@spencer.kyschools.us or send a message to me in Rooms and I will answer throughout the weekend.
