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 โ some are major, some are minor: ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐๐, ๐๐, ๐๐, ๐๐, ๐๐, ๐๐.
Please verify the stop times and locations for your student. Weโve made high school and middle school loading as efficient as possibleโboth 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.
๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ โ Please update your childโs 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 theyโll 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.

๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ & ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ- We are currently welcoming several new drivers, and some are still in training. As a result, routes and times may change slightly before school begins. We appreciate your patience and flexibility during this period.
๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฅ & ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ- We are in the process of hiring several new bus monitors and hope to have monitor assignments finalized by the end of next week. These monitors play a vital role in keeping students safe and supported while on the bus.
๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ค-๐๐ฉ & ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ-๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฌ- Please note that all pick-up and drop-off times are approximateโparticularly during the first few weeks of school, when changes in enrollment are most common. Please make sure mailbox numbers are visible, this makes it much easier for drivers to locate a student stop.
๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ-๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ- Next week, families will receive an individual email confirming the transportation information we have on file for each student. Please review this carefully and let us know if anything needs to be updated.

๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ-๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ถ๐ด ๐๐ข๐จ๐ด- Just like last year, students will receive color-coded bus tags on the first day of school to help staff and students identify the correct bus quickly and safely.
๐๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด- Every student is assigned a route number, which is displayed on a small white magnet with a red number located on the front bumper of each school bus. We do not go by the bus number itself. In the event of a breakdown or bus switch, the route number is the consistent identifier. Please help your student learn to look for the red number on the white magnet on the front bumper each day.
๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ & ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก- As Spencer County continues to grow, some routes have been adjusted to better serve our students and neighborhoods. We thank you for your understanding as we continue improving transportation services districtwide.
