Weekly Updates from CCSD

Message from Dr. Johnson

Love the Bus!

This week we celebrated the strength of our bus drivers. We thank our drivers for their hard work and dedication in safely getting our students to school daily. Without them, many of our students would not arrive ready to learn.

We are working to make our buses safer for drivers and students. We have new radios and cameras on each bus to assist with immediate communications between our driver, the school, and law enforcement. Keeping up with the readily available bus upgrades will allow us to continue improving our transportation efforts in CCSD.

Our bus drivers are dedicated to our students, and we will make every effort to ensure they are safe on our buses.

Again thank you for all you do for us!

CCSD Bus Drivers were acknowledged for their hard work and dedication to keeping our students safe and in school.
