Alternative Transportation Requests: Route Proccessing For Here Comes the Bus
ANGOLA, NY – The Lake Shore Central School District Transportation Department is reminding families who submitted an Application for Special Transportation Arrangements that route updates can take up to 5 days to process, especially for forms submitted close to the start of the school year.
Families who submitted a form on a Monday or Tuesday this week should expect the full processing window before their route change appears in Here Comes the Bus. This applies only to families requesting non-standard pickup or drop-off arrangements, such as childcare or split-schedule stops; families using standard home-to-school transportation do not need to take any action.
